I'm not sure she could put up an effective fight against the RO; how can she prove she did NOT try to hire someone to kill her husband? Her lawyer probably advised her to wait until her name is cleared, if it ever is. But I'm just not sure how one fights a case when it is a matter of a so-called "he said, she said."
In criminal court, one method would be by attacking the credibility of the witness.
Does he have any unusual reason to cooperate with LE? For instance, is he a drug pusher, undocumented immigrant, probationer in violation of his terms of probation or some such thing?
Has he ever made similar allegations in the past which were unfounded?
What were the conditions under which he made the allegations? Was it at the end of a "friendly" 39 hour continuous interview that, oddly enough, was neither videotaped nor recorded? Or were there substantial gaps in the videotapes or recordings?
Did he receive some sort of consideration in exchange for his testimony? That's not illegal and while professionals realise they should just lay it out, some non-professionals freak out and try to lie to the jury about it.
Plus pointing out the lack of any other evidence (assuming there is no other evidence or that the only evidence implicates her in an affair but not MFH) and the fact that the alleged target is still alive and well.
I'm actually less convinced about the MFH allegations than I am that TMH is involved in Kyron's disappearance (I am almost convinced TMH is the responsible party there).
