She WAS NOT A VICTIM
1) They did include that fact.
2) It's irrelevant. Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 of the USA Constitution forbids ex post facto laws. That is to say, it's unconstitutional for any federal or state government to charge someone for any act for which no law applied at the time the act was committed. The woman is being charged for an act she committed that was not illegal when she committed it, which means that the state is applying an ex post facto law. If this gets brought up in any proceeding and Alabama does not get flattened the USA legal system just changed massively.
