Clearly. She should certainly be charged with her crimes. However, beyond it being arson and destruction of public property (it's a national park, I believe), she really did nothing more than what our species does all the time. She ruined a tree. It sucks that it was an old tree, but you don't get extra murder charges for killing an old person.
