Anyways back on topic....the 911 tape isn't conclusive proof, any competent defense lawyer would make mincemeat of it and his gun was indeed used to kill her...during the struggle she gets her hand on the gun and then there is more struggle during which she is shot with her own gun...now the killer probably had gloves on, so her prints should be on it and also Richard if he handled the gun somewhere later on.
Also to note the killer loses his prosthetic arm during the struggle with Richard after which he runs...how did the cops not find the arm!!
And after so much struggle, how the forensics not find absolutely any forensic evidence on a third man in the house, like his hair, skin traces in her nails (they only find Richard's from when he's holding her while she's dying).
Even the motive that he killed her for her money is pretty weak...he was already an accomplished doctor with no criminal record or mental history.
Basically OP is right, there is not much detective work on the police side (considering it's such a high profile case)...nor is there any conclusive evidence to warrant a death penalty by lethal injection.
The film just focuses a lot on the action.

The arm wasn't actually left at the crime scene, it stayed with Sykes. It became dislodged, kind of just dangling from his elbow but it was still on his person, in his possession. There was no arm left. Sykes took the arm with him when he left.
