It makes a lot of sense if you take the time and think about it reasonably.
The theory just sounds shaky to me, overly fabricated.
First off, no one's trying to sell this as some fabricated, first degree murder type of deal, right? We're assuming she's not a psychopath - it's being played up as a "crime of passion", but this is not at all your typical crime of passion.
Think about it this way. Think of yourself in a situation where you discover that your wife/gf/whatever has been cheating on you for years behind your back with someone you trusted completely. Now I'm not saying you or anyone here would go ahead and murder that guy or your wife, but don't lie to me and say that those kinds of feelings don't come up.
Now put yourself in the situation the attorneys are talking about. You're a guy in college with an attractive girlfriend, and you're trying to get her roommate in on a threesome. She says no, and of course you're disappointed... but angry? And angry enough to murder her? And the other girl is that angry too, and actively participates in this murder? Really???
Now again, I don't know the actual details of this case (and it kind of seems like you don't either, to be quite honest), so the prosecution's case might have been a little different than that, but if that's really what they went on, well, that just doesn't strike me as a realistic situation.
Another point - it sounds to me like the British public is looking for someone to blame here, because of the nationality of the victim (and that's a perfectly natural reaction to these kinds of crimes, btw). If we're going to start making accusations that Americans are biased, I think we have to recognized that the British position on this case is equally biased.
