My problem is, where is the outrage over the millions of trees that have been destroyed in the past 200 years? It was one tree. If we actually let any of the newer trees survive, there might be more old trees for the future. As this stands, it wasn't murder. She was a tweaked out meth head who set a tree on fire. Make her plant a new tree.
She is guilty of arson, however, and also the tree was probably property.

Sturdier than a 3,500 year old tree? What would you suggest, aside from a Gizeh-like pyramid?
Maybe a bristle cone pine? Older than even the pryamids, and the wood won't rot for thousands of years even after they eventually die. In fact there are still fallen bristle cone pines on the ground that dates to long before god created the universe in 4004 BC.
