What we're seeing here is the double-edged sword of the American Justice System. We all pretty much believe that she's guilty, as do about 99% of the people out there. But..... think about this for a minute; let's say that a crime was committed and it totally looked like you had committed it, but you didn't. But because you hadn't actually done it, there would be no real evidence to convict you. Granted, you would be "convicted" in the Court of Public Opinion, but at least you wouldn't be in the electric chair.
So I guess this is the price we all pay for protecting individual rights; sure, a guilty party gets off sometimes but is that any worse than you getting death or life imprisonment because it "looked bad?" That's the tradeoff and it's probably for the better.
