#4> There are not two systems of justice — one for the wealthy and one for the poor
Would be nice if they would say this when a poor person, because they cannot afford a team of lawyers, gets a completely over the top punishment on shoddy evidence.

It's actually not good. It is totally legal to appeal a conviction. The size of a bank account is not a measurement in this.
Stranger is US law in general, where the outcome of convictions depends on the emotional stability of a judge and the thoughts of a jury.
Law is an emotional process in the US. In Europe there are no emotions involved in the sentencing.
I think this reflects the responds like "Send her to prison, where she belongs". There is an appeal, so let's see if she really belongs there.

#7> there is one criminal justice system in this country.
That's an illusion. There's almost no wealthy criminal that sees the walls of a prison - and if they do, they find ways to get out very quickly thanks to their connections.

I think they should send her to prison, but conditionally release her for 48 hours so that she can help to solve a crime.

I think you're missing the point, yes it is legal for anyone to appeal a conviction.
In the US (and I assume most of the rest of the world) that is dependent on your ability to pay a lawyer to do that for you and your likely outcome is impacted by the price you are able to pay for that lawyer.
The other point is, this is a conversation about a two tier justice system. Rich people get to spend their appeal in a mansion, poor people sit in prison waiting on an appeal.
So I would say, she's been convicted of a crime and has been given time for it, send her to prison like everyone else.
Once her appeal is successful, then let her go back to that life of luxury.

Why should we push down wealthy people just because the poor have it worse? Would it not be better to focus on improving the conditions of the poor?
