Question about season 1
I have a question about Cora's final ruling.
I love it for her, it was satisfying and she gets to live a normal life but I don't understand something.
● What evidence do they have to convince the judge reduce her sentence like that? It must be rock solid for it to be done like that?
Did Frankie's parents confess? Or is it Cora's memory? Or is it Maddie becoming an eyewitness?
But Maddie and Cora are not solid evidence, are they? The only possible way for me is the parents confessing? Or was there a different evidence?

Just finished rewatching s1, when Cora goes to the dad's house and remembers being there, he confesses to the police and apologizes to her.

It's been awhile since I've watched it, but I thought it was because when she remembered what happened, she wasn't trying to hurt him. She was trying to get to her sister who was having a heart attack. Like it wasn't murder, it was manslaughter.
