She knows shes going to jail for life right?

You don't get gang raped, abused, beaten half to death while feeling terrified for your life and beyond all normal realms of humiliation but then still give two *beep* about wether you're going to jail or not. At that point it's down to the animal inside every human, it's you or them and come hell or high water you aren't going to let it be you.

I'd give her a big "not guilty!"

You people are so stupid, do you seriously think she'd mind at that point?

Everything she knew as being "life" no longer exists for her.

I can only assume that getting violently raped, living out of nothing in the woods and sadistically killing 5 people would put you in a state of mind where going back to be a part of the modern society isn't an option. Prison for life or death or anything else would most likely be OK with her at that point.

Before asking yourself stuff like "She knows shes going to jail for life right?", put yourself in the shoes of the character and wonder "Does she care about what happens to her at this point?".

Yeah, she was clearly bat $h1t crazy at the end of the movie. Plus, I'm sure she kept a copy of the tape. I wouldn't convict her.

I don't think she really cares what happens to her after she has gotten her revenge. I sincerely doubt that she planned to get away with it, and only thought it thru well enough to buy enough time to kill her attackers.

You're going about this as if she was still a reasonable person with desires of returning to a life before the attack. In her mind, she's already dead/gone, and spending the rest of her life in jail would be no different than spending her life outside it. To do what she did, in the manner in which she did it, I thought it was obvious that she simply didn't care anymore, much less thought of a positive future beyond her blood-soaked objective.

It's easier to grasp if you look at her like The Terminator rather than someone like Dexter. The Terminator doesn't think to clean up it's tracks because it simply doesn't care, and it certainly doesn't think of how it will operate, or blend in, or escape consequence beyond completing it's objective. Jennifer Hill basically goes into Terminator mode after the attack.

In any other "free" country, she would serve a minimal sentence, if any. Sorry, the rest of the civilized world doesn't routinely lock people in prison forever like the United States.

Hell, in the UK you would serve 8 to 10 years for 1st degree murder. In the US, you could serve anywhere from 25 to 100+ years depending on how brutal the murder was. Yes, there is a big difference between prisons of "modern democracies" and the gulags of the United States.

The movie ends when she completes her revenge. Who cares for the legal aspects of it? Fortunately, this is not a "Law & Order" episode.
