From a legal standpoint, the sentencing makes sense and the law was applied fairly.

I think what she did was abhorrent and evil, and she 100% deserves punishment, but she cannot be charged with murder or voluntary manslaughter. Murder is YOU physically killing someone or somehow orchestrating a murder plot. She did neither. And well, the difference between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter is that voluntary is premeditated. I don't think her crime was premeditated, though, because I think she saw a situation and took advantage of it, maybe because she thought it was funny or because she was angry. Who knows. She's just an opportunist, albeit a twisted one. I don't think she planned this ahead of time.

I don't know wtf is wrong with her, but she obviously has issues she needs to work through. Jail probably isn't going to do much for her *or* for society, so I don't know if there is much value in locking her up, especially not for the 20 year maximum sentence. She's better off seeking mental health treatment and doing community service (as others have suggested). I don't see her as a threat to the safety of society. I'd rather free up her jail cell so that someone who is a legitimate threat can be put in there.

just my 2¢
