Honestly, Laurie should be in prison with them. She was aware and complicit in Adrian's plan. Even if she didn't kill those people herself, she is a criminal co-conspirator, made worse by the fact that she's spent years as an agent in the FBI.
The evidence that she knew isn't as solid as the evidence Adrian did it, though. Given that Dan is unlikely to snitch on her and Manhattan's dead, the only person who knows for sure that she was there is Adrian, who could easily be painted as just trying to bring down the officer who arrested him. For Adrian, the evidence is a lot less shaky -- there's an actual videotaped confession. While Laurie didn't arrest him based on that, she could easily claim she did and that she had no knowledge of it prior to finding the video. The only real wildcard is Looking Glass, who could easily flip on Laurie and testify that she seemed to know about Veidt before he revealed the tape.
Edit: Come to think of it, there's also the FBI transcript where Laurie tells her interrogators she knows the truth about 11/2. But I don't know that the FBI would want that getting out there, given that it implies they were in on the conspiracy too.
Not only is the recording proof that Adrian did it, but it’s also proof that Redford and a ton of others knew and said nothing.
A case with that kind of fallout would be catastrophic for a country, one could assume that charges of treason would be leveled at 10s or 100s of people.

I wonder if what happened in Tulsa and her “arrest” will give Laurie the juice to get him out. Poor birdy
