It just so happens that it was a false positive. The results were in error. A mistake was made. No one is claiming it was intentional.

So when the state unintentionally and harmfully errs, out of ignorance, that's just fine. Lock an innocent citizen away in jail on half a million dollars bail for three weeks, mulligan!

But when the citizen unintentionally and harmlessly errs, out of ignorance, she was "acting stupidly", bears "most of the responsibility", and being locked in a cage for a couple weeks is justice being served.

That's scary.

It's not "just fine". But it's also not $180,000.

People have been sent to prison for years and years then freed after their innocence is proven. No money changes hands.

But dingbat here goofs around and bitches about 3 weeks? Sorry lady. You just learned the hard way what not to do. Move on.
