15 year old sex trafficking victim killed her rapist in his sleep. Now she must pay restitution to his family in the amount of $150,000. Fuck this prosecutor. I hope that prosecutor, whoever they are, suffers in the most inhumane way possible. I really do. And then I hope they're forced to pay restitution to their assailant. And then I hope they go homeless, and are forced to live on the streets for the remainder of their days. I hope that their family disowns them, and that people spit on them as they walk past.
I didn't gleam anything from the article indicating it was so but the prosecutor(s) may have been public. If so, he/she/they didn't really have any more choice than the judge. If you are an attorney working for the state, you don't get to choose which cases you work on. It works the same way for public defenders. I'm sure most of them don't enjoy defending rapists and murders but somebody has to do it.
Regardless of if they were a public prosecutor or not, they still told this girl that she shouldn't be portraying herself as a victim and that she took this rapist away from his kids. Fuck them.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
