Steubenville, OH Gang Rape Case

[heartbreaker6713]

I read that the defense does not want her referred to as the victim, they want her known as the accuser.

I heard that in the interview too and he stated he didn't like to use that word in reference to her because that means that something has happened. Yet he doesn't deny that his client was there, he doesn't deny his client is in the picture with the girl, and he doesn't deny that his client is holding the woman in the picture. So are you denying that those things took place but the other stuff didn't? He does say she's not passed out in the picture where she is being held by the wrists and ankles and is hanging there and looks to be unconscious, really? Something happened up to that point, and the video comments took place and that wasn't his client speaking (i don't believe, it's all confusing) however those comments didn't take place because something didn't happen... so would he like to call her a victim when he loses his case or maybe when he realizes he has a losing case and maybe pleads for his client and i wouldn't be surprised if somewhere there are going to be civil suits down the road somewhere! Don't get me wrong i do not like the word victim, to me it denotes weakness and vulnerability. But she is more than just an accuser at least in my eyes.
