What she did was really heartless.

Without question... but was it illegal?

Like you said they "found" a way to prosecute her but the problem is they had to manufacture and stretch the law in order to do so and I don't think the possible implications of this decision are worth it.

People do messed up things and while I am outraged by her behavior I am not convinced it was illegal.

Morally disgusting.. yes, but not illegal.

My neighbor cheated on his cancer stricken wife when I was 15 and she took her own life.... I am just as disgusted by this women as I was with my neighbor but he wasn't charged with anything because what he did was horrible but not illegal.

She has to live with herself and trust me for the rest of her life people will be pointing and talking bad about and she will never live this down no matter where she goes. Much like her victim. I know that isn't enough for most but it is all the law seems to allow for in this case.
