44. You aren't her

You haven't lived her life. Leave her alone already. It's really unpleasant. I don't need to make excuses for her. She has nothing to do with my life or yours. She is not a public figure.

Blaming her for the case's failure is absurd. The Prosecution had a responsibility to prepare their witnesses. All kinds of trials depend on witnesses who are criminals, killers, and worse. I don't know what it is that prompts you to be so cruel about a private citizen. It's unfathomable to me.
