She should never have been let out. Usually when someone gets a new trial after conviction, they sit it out in county jail instead of being on the street because the presumption is that they're likely to be convicted again. Plus there is a heightened risk that the person will harm themselves or others or attempt to flee custody or commit other offenses.
I think that its telling that she should not have been let out is that her bail was revoked and even Sotomayer couldn't think of a reason to keep her on the street.
