How is she even guilty of something? She told her then husband and his half brother what happened. That's considered kidnapping? They may as well have charged her with murder while they were at it.

Maybe she told them to do something about it, who knows. Not enough information to have an informed opinion.

Someone confirmed they had the right person and most likely it was a woman. So they thought it was her. Kidnapping laws can be somewhat vague or worded where you don't have to even plan to do harm or keep the kid. Taking a child for a walk that you are watching without asking for consent from the parents could be charged as kidnapping.

There is really no way to prove this crime. It's all hearsay or old evidence with no one left alive to really say one way or the other.

If the story is true, the teen should have known what he was doing was going to be a problem. It doesn't excuse the murderers but people need to stop overlooking their actions that caused it. Harassing a woman and making sexual motions and possibly touching her would be grounds to get you beat until you learned how to respect women at his age. Then you add in the racial elements and the teen was asking for trouble.
