Her actions suggest she may not have been proven guilty, but she probably is and, even if that's not the truth, she's probably going to be the new OJ in having a generally hostile public surrounding her the rest of her life.
An interesting case.

Was she charged with anything else? Unless there were counts as to those actions there's nothing for the court to do.
She probably did it, but you also have to remember that the 'evidence' we see is far different than that seen by the jury. We see sensationalized reports from the media, stories designed to generate readership, accounts based on opinion and an array of other things that may or may not accurately reflect what took place. We also don't see the boring stuff, the doubts cast on pieces of 'smoking gun' type evidence, the questions surrounding theories presented etc. High profile cases like this seem to often wind up this way, the public sees a completely different case than the jury and the outcomes are typically complete opposites.
