Quote #1
My mom, two older sisters, all butchered by Ben. The only one left, I'd fingered him as the murderer. I was the cutie-pie who brought my Devil worshiping brother to justice. (1.14)
This quote does a good job of explaining why someone coached Libby to give a false testimony. Who wouldn't believe a seven-year-old survivor? And since the prosecutors thought Ben did it, they feel like justice was served.
Quote #2
"There are some fans… experts, who know more than the detectives on the case. Not that that's hard." (1.109)
A recurring theme in mysteries and crime novels is fact that the general public wants to bring the true killer to justice after the justice system itself has totally failed at it. Dark Places fits this mold.
