The full judges' ruling contains strongly-worded paragraphs recommending that Louise Woodward never looks after children again. The document also states that neither she nor her family should profit in any way from the whole saga - a clear warning about the possibility of her story being sold.
It states: "First, as a felon convicted of a grave act of child abuse, Woodward should not in the future be entrusted with the care of the children of others, whether for remuneration or otherwise.
"Second, Woodward and her representatives or assignees should be prohibited from engaging in any activity generating any profit or financial benefit relating to the publication or dissemination by any form of media of facts or circumstances relating to her crime . . .
"These measures comprise an appropriate remedy that would rectify any harm caused by the legal error, engender confidence in the fairness and impartiality of our judicial system, maintain the dignity and integrity of our courts, and bring rightful closure to this difficult case."
The seven top judges who decided Woodward's fate include two women - one of them the Supreme Court justice who refused to allow Woodward to be jailed until her appeal was heard.
Justice Ruth Abrams, who has sat on the bench of the highest court in Massachusetts for more than 20 years, rejected an attempt by the District Attorney to have the au pair sent to Framingham prison pending the appeal.
Harvard Law School-educated Judge Abrams started her legal career with her family firm before becoming an assistant district attorney in Middlesex County, the same office which brought the case against Woodward.
The other woman on the bench is South African-born Ms Margaret Marshall, known as a civil rights campaigner. She is married to New York Times columnist and author Anthony Lewis.
The Chief Justice, Mr Herbert Wilkins, has held his post for two years, after 12 years as a justice of the Supreme Court.
The others who sat in judgment in the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, which was founded in 1692 and is the oldest continuous appeal court in the western hemisphere, are: Justice Roderick Ireland - a married church-goer who campaigns for racial justice; Justice John Greaney - married with one daughter, he has served for nine years in the Supreme Court. Justice Neil Lynch - a Supreme Court judge for 17 years; Justice Charles Fried - a Czechborn former professor at Harvard Law School.
