The killer spent six years in prison wrongfully convicted for murdering her children, and spent three of those years being raped and tortured by the victim. The DA even lampshades how horrible of a case to prosecute it it. The woman herself is actually willing to go back to prison, she just wants to the DA's office to openly state that she was innocent of killing her children.
