Well, that's a stretch.
The simple fact is that most Americans, if put in her position, would have done exactly the same thing.
That doesn't mean it's right (legally speaking) mind you, but there are moral implications to be factored in. I've heard of a saying in South America that you "can't fault someone for trying to get by" and to some degree this is reflected in the US. Would you fault a parent for stealing to feel starving children?
I'm not sure it's really that easy to relate.
