    Hard to pretend someone in her situation might want protection? Really?

    And if her story was that bad then a jury would see it. Removing her ability to use a self defence argument is just blatant rail roading.

      She put herself in a position where she needed to use it if that’s what happened. Going to the police or literally not going to his house and doing anything else would have offered her the same protection.

      Guns are suppose to be a last resort, she used it as her first.

      On top off that she burned down the house most likely to hide evidence and then lied about her part in the murder.

        So did Kyle Rittenhouse. In the exact same town. I wonder why he was able to use self defence and not her?

        And he wasn’t a victim of sex trafficking either.

          That’s funny because I was going to bring him up and decided not to. I think it’s insane he got off and what he did was very much murder as well, he knowingly and needlessly put himself in a dangerous situation as to warrant his use of a deadly weapon. There’s some similarities between the two cases in that regard imo.
