One of the jury members as much as said they didn’t convict her on the conspiracy arson charge because they felt sorry for her being a mother of a three year old and the mandatory sentence was 20 years.

Her going to trial paid off for her even though she was found guilty of lesser charges.

I seriously doubt this as it is prohibited to tell a jury the possible sentence a defendant faces if convicted of the charges for which they are being tried. Unless she looked it up herself, which is doubtful, she wouldn't have known at trial.
