Their land, their law. Some countries on earth would say our "self defense" law is wrong and people could kill anyone they don't like then claim self defense and be acquitted. Some could say people who caused the Exxon Valdez or the people who caused Deepwater Horizon was never sentence to death is unfair as well.
She knew the risk, she knew how to play it, she just buttered the wrong guy or a guy who lost the power to protect her, and she didn't butter other guys who could have helped her. That's usually how corruption goes and that's the risk to get those billions in new money.

Liberace is my pick.
So many want to use his songs-playing diving board on the deep-end of his piano-shaped pool.
