The court is not saying she did not commit the crime. She won on appeal because the prosecutor failed to tell her lawyer about the Detective’s record of misconduct, not because she didn’t conspire to kill her 4 year old child. The State is free to retry the case, this time they have to tell the jury about the Detective's history of misconduct.
