The Willow character is not supposed to have committed any crime despite manipulating the situation for her profit. This is a fictional story with the point to make that people do manipulate situations like this to happen and dance off into the sunset for personal profit. It would not be possible to put in all the levels of story here in a one hour show and make it a reasonable story, so they took some shortcuts.
This is no more unreasonable for the writers to do than to have the typical geek tell them what location the van is located, and have the two detectives run to the location for the bust. I am more put off on those sorts of things in the CSI and L&O episodes than fake a fake rabbi.
