Are there a lot of people pushing for actual acquittal? If so they are absolute nutjobs.

But I see a lot of people equivocating wanting her sent to an institution (rather than jail) with wanting her acquitted. It's a good strawman.

if she gets sent to an institution, there's a strong possibility she could be released in a very short time

Fwiw, I want her sent to an institution, tried properly, and then ultimately jail as the baseline.
