Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just discovered this subreddit and I'm trying to understand the basics. I keep seeing her name mentioned everywhere but I don't understand her role in all of this. The Wikipedia article is confusing. What exactly was she convicted of?

Keep seeing CVRA mentioned in relation to the 2008 plea deal. Can someone break this down? From what I understand, victims were supposed to be told about the plea deal but weren't? How is that even legal?

Just discovered this community. I've heard about this case in the news but don't know the details. What are the essential documents to read first? There's so much information I don't know where to begin. Also - is there a glossary somewhere? I keep seeing abbreviations I don't understand (CVRA? NPA? HOC?).
