When you ignore evidence that doesn't support your position you weaken any point you may think you're making.  If you confined yourself to addressing points actually made you may sway an opinion or two.

I merely quoted the parts you felt the need to say before you agreed.

I didn't say you don't know how to do your job. Perhaps even quite well. I'm saying that your view of the people you deal with daily jades you overall worldview. I have no doubt you know more about the legal system. I also have no doubt that your opinion can still be, at the very least, not the only opinion that counts or matters just because of your job or the number of years at it.

For the record I'd want to tell a 30 year military veteran that going into a situation with all out war also isn't the only answer to a dispute. Experience does not always equal always correct either.

And a fair reading of everything I have posted would should that is what I have said the entire time. Thank you!

Yet people in this thread have completely dismissed her being "afraid". Suggesting that the john never threatened her "enough" to justify her actions. If she shot the pimp in the back of the head while he was sleeping? That's different? In this thread it was suggested that many (if not most) prostitutes are willingly working for pimps. Prove he abused her anymore than the john abused her.

See?

And she WAS held responsible. She IS being held responsible. Your opinion is that nine years isn't long enough to turn her life around and be a good, contributing member of a free society. I disagree. And without EITHER of us directly involved in the case or with the girl your opinion holds no more sway than mine.

On this we agree also.
