I notice now that this is over, she keeps being referred to as the "victim." Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the police have to refer to people as simply the "suspect" because they are inoccent until proven guilty? Shouldn't the same apply to her? Shouldn't she be called the "alleged victim?" Or maybe "The victim-who-decided-she-wasn't-victim-enough-to-put-the-accused-behind-bars-but-she'll-take-some-money-from-him-if-she-can?"
