I totally agree in the context of future behavior. But we're not talking about future behavior. We're talking about someone dealing with the initial crisis right now--immersed in the court case with her abuser and dealing with people in her community who were not taking her situation seriously and were still welcoming her abuser. She should not be expected to act perfectly and should be extended all benefit of the doubt in this situation. And from what I've seen she is extremely articulate in her defense. Imagine what it is like for all the other people in similar situations who are not so articulate. There just is no excuse for all the push back against her and how she has handled this situation.
