(and supposed mental illness) did not warrant, IMO. Her crime was so damned premeditated and horrendous that I'd love to know why anyone would think her TRULY unlikely to commit violence in the future. She got total benefit due to her age at the time of the attempted horrific murder and the incredulity of the "why" for those deciding her fate. Anyone that devious and manipulative can certainly manipulate mental health professionals examining her for potential downgrades of her confinement and potential for release.

I don't have insider knowledge, so there may well be more to the story, but count me skeptical.
