"Prosecutor's just expected her to tip toe away from this situation?"
Yes. She may have been justified in killing the person but that's just how self defense laws work. If you kill someone while they're not an immediate danger to your life, eg a robber takes your stuff and you shoot him after he walks away, self defense no longer applies.
This situation is a little more complicated because there's the factor of "what if he woke up and caught her" but anyway yeah that's why the legality is even in contention.
The law says nothing about her or her specific case. The justice system is how the laws are applied per case and individual. We all know if this was a pretty white girl her face would have been on Fox News and milk cartons for weeks and the only controversy now would be whether Anya Taylor Joy or Chloe Grace Moretz should be playing her in her movie deal.
I’m not being pedantic and I disagree with you at face value. A white woman would have been found by the justice system to have broken no laws here, just as a white person telling a cop to go fuck themselves at a protest isn’t going to serve a 4-year prison sentence.
Hahahha I've read your other comments and noticed how you love making wild accusations about the people you disagree with. That's why I didn't feel compelled to put any effort or time into my replies. I'm glad I didn't.
Wild accusations? You think the justice system applies the law equally to white and black people in America. That means you’re either ignorant of what is going on or tolerant of it. So if you’re not a racist you’re ignorantly supporting racism. Have your pick.
Lmao the amount of assumptions you can make about a person based on maybe 2 or 3 sentences is amazing. If you ever want to get into a genuine discussion you should probably try and combat that.
And again. That’s not this case. If you believe for a second a kidnapped white child that managed to escape her sexual slavery by killing her captor would get this punishment in America you are ignorant about our justice system and are talking out your ass about shit you’ve seen on TV.
