How spyware nearly sent a teacher to prison

Where are the real prosecutions here? Why is the dishonest IT witness not being charged? Why are the prosecutors allowed to fervently harass people who are clearly innocent?
Despite this, the DA didn't back down.
To summarize: She was a substitute teacher. She lost her teaching credentials instead of 40 years in prison. It was a windows 98 computer. She didn't have the sense to turn off the monitor, she tried to fight the battle of endless spyware pop ups. The "expert" they had to explain the computers knew nothing.
It stuns me that 40 years was even a possibility. And it makes me wonder: have there been cases like this that we've never heard of, with similar vengeful prosecutors and similar ignorant, bewildered, defendants, who now cry themselves to sleep every night over what happened to their life?
I wouldn't doubt it.
This isn't justice. This isn't even a miscarriage of justice. This is holding justice down, raping her, giving her two black eyes and a bloody nose, and then saying in court that the bitch was asking for it.
