Ah, from the flow of questions I thought it was against the law to profit from crime? I imagine the telly breafast prog may have paid expenses? I thought the second was naturally running from the first, as in I thought it was against the law to profit from crime and yet she's been paid her expesnes.
"This appear to be her being paid to tell her side of the story??"
Depends on the details of that deal. I suspect money 'has' changed hands, but in such a way that it's not direct to her, or even to her at all (maybe the tv company paid her legal expenses), but still benefits her without her actually 'profiting'.
