I guess its a good thing I wasn't sitting on this jury (although with how quickly this went through I'm guessing it was a judge only trial or she plead guilty) as I would have also found her guilty of manslaughter.
The kid pushed her onto the tracks first, she then pushed him onto the tracks. Only difference was the position of the train. IMHO to be found guilty of murder she would have had to been waiting for the exact moment when a train was coming. 3 seconds too early and the kid could have ran out of the way or ducked under the platform. 1 second too late and he would have bounced off the side of the moving car; likely hurting him but not killing him.
