I think a lot of the slut shaming ties in with her class. Pretty, middle class, white girls ain't supposed to be sluts. (If anything, her class worked against her in this case, which isn't typically the case).
Actually, I think a lot of the ways privilege typically works in favor of an accused murderer worked against her (at least in the court of public opinion). Must be the combo effect.
