    I don’t think that’s a fair characterization of this crime. She told her husband to “kick [the victim]'s ass” (after the victim taunted her for being raped by a relative of his, because this whole story is just awful), her husband then strangled him to death while she watched and drove the car the strangulation happened in (she claims to have been in shock at that time). She then later helped her husband dismember the victim to hide his remains. For what it’s worth this all only came to light later on when her husband stabbed her multiple times but then brought her to the hospital (presumably out of some kind of remorse for trying to murder his wife while he was on a meth bender) where she was put in a coma to recover and police interrogated him (when he was presumably feeling that remorse and decided to confess every shitty thing he’d ever done, including this murder police had no idea they were a part of).

    She should have absolutely done some been convicted of some crime for creating foreseeable risk of murder by telling her husband to kick his ass and doing nothing to stop the murder (also, abusing the victim’s corpse and further traumatizing the victim’s family), but I would personally call this some kind of manslaughter or second degree murder and would probably find an extremely heavy probation an appropriate sentence (like, wear a monitor, check in with your PO once a week and do ten million hours of community service and drug rehab heavy). I think this is less of a callous murderer and more of a person who’s made fatally awful decisions.
