I should have clarified that my first sentence in that comment is a concession.
Being given stolen food is not a crime, that is correct. It is only relevant if she was either directing the person to kill the officer to steal the food on her behalf, or was actively participating in the raid where the aforementioned killing of the officer occurred.
I still maintain that Star Trek is often less than perfect when it comes to driving dramatic effect. For instance: Sisko could probably have not made a planet full of people uninhabitable just to make a point. Sometimes the writers make shitty things happen to drive the story.

It is implied that her biggest crime was being given stolen food. But that goes back to Star Trek often being less than perfect when it comes to driving dramatic effect.

I was talking about the sentence for Nus Braka. Maybe I’m just a crazy communist but in my depiction of a better world society knows better ways to deal with criminals then to just lock them up.
They only say it was a Penal Colony. Maybe they marooned him on Ceti Alpha V… or put him next to Tom Paris or Kassidy Yates in a Penal Colony with an ankle monitor. The Vulcans might have put him in Ankesthan K’til with T’Pring’s prisoners. Who knows.
I don’t know what your perspective on fair trials is, but a single judge rushing into the chambers, asking the felon 2 questions and immediately declaring the sentence.
First, Court Martials are held to a different standard than civilian courts. I don’t necessarily agree with that, but it is a fact. Second, your take is implying that we saw the whole trial and not just the sentencing. I guess when Anisha Mir claims “You said you would help me!” to Chancellor/Captain Ake (who then explains that getting the sentenced reduced was helping), we’re all just supposed to guess she hallucinated something and not that there was more to the trial than what we saw?
Drumhead was about hunting specters that aren’t there. It was about reducing everyone’s freedoms because of nebulous claims of national security. This isn’t what we see here. There were no false claims of injustice, there was a tangible crime that had been committed.

The people in the image aren’t even members of the Federation… they’re Torathan, it’s explicitly stated, by Chancellor Ake, that the Federation has an agreement with them that would allow Mir to be released to their custody.
The Burn did a lot of crazy things to the Federation, and one of the lessons explicitly stated in the next episodes is that the Academy is back to teach these cadets how to be better. There was some backsliding during the Burn and everyone is trying to get better again.
The Pirate (Nus Braka) given the sentence was a pirate who was killing Starfleet officers. The mother (Anisha Mir) was sentenced to time in a rehab colony with visitation rights. Rehabilitation implying the sentence is not a life long sentence. Both of them were, ultimately, involved with the death of an officer. It wasn’t a “Drumhead” type trial, there was no witch hunting the innocent here: Two people involved with a theft that ended with the death of a Starfleet officer were tried and convicted of crimes; one of them is known to be a member of a dangerous criminal organization.
Picard once left Tim Russ’s character poisoned to die in a Baryon sweep for stealing Trilithium Resin. Star Trek was never super perfect when dramatic effect is involved.
