Well, they want her dead in part for the laudible reason that they want to charge her foster father with murder. But she's not dead, she wasn't dead when they made the ruling, she's holding her own and, on the whole, I rather think she'd prefer to live than be avenged.
No reason both can't happen. She could survive, then her worm of a stepfather could be sentenced to a LONG stay in prison for what he did to her. Sounds like justice to me!
