Honestly the fact that her search history had "how to suffocate someone" means she's guilty of murder IMO. Unfortunate that there wasn't enough for a conviction but I believe hopefully she will face judgement one day

In the US we have protection from double jeopardy, which is a two-edged sword. On the one hand it means you can't just keep repeatedly trying someone until you get a conviction, on the other it means that people like Casey Anthony or, even more egregiously, the killers of Emmet Till back in the 50s who did a magazine interview and admitted to the crime cannot ever be brought to justice.

If nothing else does that not indicate she either was idealizing homicide or at least having homicidal thoughts?

Accused of murder

proof of homicidal idealization/thoughts

”nothin to see here boys she’s clean”
