They spent tens of thousands of dollars (maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars) on this case all for what? She will sever a couple of week on house arrest and do some community service?

The idea about the law is that it is there to serve the public interest. I think it would have better served the public had they just ended this quickly and used that money to go after people who were actually harming the public.
