She likely knew Uncle Bubba would serve less time for the crime than she would for stopping any future family members from being his next trophy. Time served should suffice and her record expunged after 2 years. Child molesters generally do not stop with one child and if it's family members many can become the offenders victim as no one wants to air the families dirty laundry.
Unfortunately the courts would have likely went light on him. Such persons as the dead man leave deep rooted scars in their victims that last forever. At least the child knows Uncle Bubba can never do it again to her or anyone else for that matter. She has my sympathies and understanding. Had I been on the jury a Not Guilty would have been my vote on all counts.

That would have insured that you wouldn't have gotten the chance. The defense would have paid cab fare to send you home.
You are too right.
