I think this is a case where she went a little above and beyond just standing by and doing nothing.

Based on what the judge just said, she was convicted because they day he killed himself, she did nothing to stop it, and failed to alert authorities and or his parents once she knew he was actually going to do it, and that he was actually dead from it. Well that and encouraging him to get back in the truck and move the generator.

The judge acknowledged that the guy was trying multiple times to kill himself, had researched it, and every time, chose to live instead. But that he had emotional/mental issues, that he just wouldn't deal with.
