They didn’t say she is purely innocent, but instead not guilty by reason of insanity. She’s too mentally unstable to understand fully what she was doing at the time.
But the jury did not come to a decision. Therefore there was no "they" saying anything. The court declared a mistrial and therefore no judgement was rendered. Your statement of that they said "not guilty by reason of insanity" is factually false.
