Well, she didn't win the case, and the laughter was at how she would never trust a polygraph again.

But the accused wasn't convicted of rape, and that polygraph was to do with the case.

There is both truth and false there. If you look at the original meme it is pretty clear there is more false than true:

She didn't volunteer to defend the rapist (FALSE)

She didn't make up a story that the woman enjoyed the rape, although she did ask for the woman to be assessed by a psychologist. (MOSTLY FALSE)

He served jail time, but he was freed, and it was after a plea-bargain (EVEN, but I'd tend towards more false than true here)

She did seem to know he was guilty (TRUE)

She didn't laugh about him being guilty (Note the phrasing in the meme is "she knew he was guilty. And she laughed about it") (FALSE)

So one true statement, one even, one mostly false and two false statements.

I'd say "Mostly False" is fair overall.
