Because just as the worst axe murderer must have a defense attorney, someone with a weak case must have a zealous prosecution. Remember, this may have been a weak case based on circumstantial evidence, but her behaviour was still suspicious and the prosecution *had* a case. If she'd dressed in black and stayed home instead of being a party girl, no one would have ever pursued this.
