1) River (proper River) doesn't have to kill the Doctor. Which always seemed . . . cruel and unlikely, given how she reacts when he's in danger. 2) River Song has a galaxy-wide reputation as the one who killed the Doctor, as you theorized. But (crucially): 3) She hasn't gone to prison for *him* but for herself (it's "her thing," as I said).
I love it. Watch us be totally wrong, but the right answer will satisfy all those conditions anyway ; )
