What is the point in having a justice system at all if the mob is going to convict and punish individuals who are found not guilty?
She should be given a new identity and protected by the government. Not because she is not guilty, I haven't followed this but obviously she is a monster who should have been concivted... but to protect the legitimacy of our justice system.
It is the main thing that sets us a part from the shitty places in the world where mobs of male religious fanatics stone women to death for being raped. Actually, it is the ONLY THING that prevents things like that.
