(Her case had also undergone repeated court review.)

We've seen that 'court review' is often a misnomer, and more often than not a crossing of legal t's and dotting of bureaucratic i's than a consideration of meaningful fact.

If the State had been better at review, she wouldn't have remained to BE beaten.

Letting her die permits her attacker to be tried for murder. I say try the State workers for murder. They failed her.

a consideration of meaningful fact

Technically, there is only one finding of fact, at the trial court level. All of those wonderful appellate reviews are merely matters of law.
