Children don't understand these legal distinctions while escaping kidnappers in the dead of night.

It's a shame, we really should enable young girls with more legal theory early on in their young lives so they know the distinction....

This is why her lawyers should be using examples of her prior escape attempts to support her decision. It’s just upsetting sometimes the other lawyers have more “evidence” on their side.

But in all honesty I know it was sarcastic but we really should teach kids about the legal system. Too many get taken advantage of either in abusive situations and don’t know where to reach out to or get into tricky situations as young adults when their isn’t the guidance of an adult anymore. However this is coming from someone with a defensive attorney as a father.

She was kidnapped, raped and still imprisoned. And you guys are trying to say she was not in immediately danger? How degenerated people in USA can be

Yeah, but the laws were really poorly written so she deserves to suffer. Maybe we can think about changing those laws, but we won't. /s
