The problem in this case is the court system and the devaluation of a woman's testimony under their law.
If I remember right the evidence against her for her part in the death of her husband was pretty circumstantial, but given that a man's testimony weighs more then a woman's there's problems.

I'm fairly sure women have been executed in the US without abnormal backlash. The issue here is the gender issue as a whole and not specific to this case.
