> I agree she was abused by an uncaring and incompetent prosecution.
In passing.
> My point was that the article and the comments here and on the article seem to insinuate that she was free of culpability and should have never been investigated.
I didn't get that impression from the article, or from the comments here. My impression is that everyone agreed the investigation came up with nothing, and the subject should have been dropped.
> She had all the red flags. Hell, she could still be a Chinese spy for all we know.
Nothing like kicking her while she's down.
> but the only thing we know for certain is that the prosecution dropped the case. We don't know why they dropped the case.
Poor likelihood to convict is a reasonable assumption.
> A lack of evidence isn't proof of innocence.
It's certainly insufficient to charge her with a crime, much less convict her.
I think my concern with your comment still stands.
