For edge cases where there is no specific law for exactly that situation, precedent is usually what matters. So if you recreate a similar scenario you will very likely get the same outcome in court.

Does a shocking and infuriating result of a court case really qualify as a “You Should Know”?
On top of the outrageous hyperbole going on here. Just because someone got away with something heinous doesn’t mean the laws have changed.

While technically true, you have to be kidding me if you think there aren’t relevant laws for a situation like this.

Well, youre probably right. Normally Id say if there were appliable laws she wouldve gotten some punishment, but I was thinking of countries where the law is independent from your bank account.
