IMO she is NOT really the one benefiting. Yes, the blood money is posting the bonds, and yes there is probably a deal with at least ALL defense costs paid PLUS an extra mil or so. BUT its probably the GP's that are the benefactors. Custodians, trustees, whatever they will call it - of the blood money.
I really really really really really really hope that the Sheriff himself - Beary, I think - is standing right at the edge of the sidewalk with papers and charges her right there, spins her around on her "cute little heels", cuffs her in those stylish pink handcuffs she is so accustomed to, and marches her sorry butt right back inside.
