And that is a complete failure of the police and authorities. They made the decision to extradite her with such flimsy evidence.

Even if she was guilty, they shouldn't have imprisoned her for 3+ months without interviewing her. The AI didn't tell them to do that.

And the police were wrong, which is why they're the culpable ones.

I think you actually agree with the GP? As I understand them, they're saying that it's not the AI tool that takes the most blame, it's the police.

Even if the id was correct, why would they leave her in jail for 5 months before the first interview and/or court appearance?

No indication that the licking was consentual.

> Clearly the police felt the AI was "responsible enough" to be the only thing they needed to trust.

Yes, that's what the OPs "incompetence and negligence" referred to.
