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.
the system failed and the mob is making up for that, i don't see a problem whatsoever. i do see a problem with the government paying for protection of a perpetrator that did not get found guilty due to a poor prosecution and a poor explanation of reasonable doubt by the judge to the jury.

the populace should not only NOT pay for that, they should take matters in their own hands and dole out street justice.
