It's bizarre.
She got off easy. I can understand parking on the wrong level of the parking garage. Maybe ignoring the doormat unlike her own, not looking at the apartment number--she was busy, after all texting or sexting or whatever. But as you say, once she saw the inside of the apartment...Did she think the "burglar" had it redecorated while she was at work? And you're right--she could have just held him at gunpoint for the two minutes it would have taken a normally-intelligent person to realize her mistake. There was absolutely no reason to shoot Jean. And the judge hugging her? Unbelievable.
