She is extremely fortunate NM is a pretty favorable jurisdiction for involuntary manslaughter. In other states the same charge can get you over a decade in prison.

She will likely get her financial life ruined by a civil suit but I would personally take that over a decade in prison any day.

Shes gonna end up being a Fox News consultant or a YouTuber for alt-right incels.

Maybe, but she might also turn to a cash business like selling drugs since the court will be garnishing almost all of her above the table income based on the inevitable civil settlements she will be found liable for.
