She was acquitted of the lesser charges too.
I'm talking about a plea bargain before the trial. In many cases like this, the Prosecution would offer a deal for a lesser charge because they have a risk of losing at trial.
At the same time, the defendant might plead guilty to a lesser charge so as not to risk a Murder One conviction that might get them the death penalty.
You are mistaken. She was not, and she still faces $4,000 in fines
