Eve expresses strong frustration about how perpetrators often escape accountability by portraying themselves as victims. She emphasizes that when the truth about the case comes to light, the defense will likely try to shift blame, suggesting that the victim had a hand in the assailant's emotional state. This manipulation of the narrative infuriates her, as it undermines the real responsibility of the criminal.
She firmly believes that the assailant, regardless of any personal struggles or supposed weaknesses, is solely responsible for his actions. Eve rejects the idea that external factors can justify violent behavior, asserting that the only individual accountable for Elisa Maplewood’s tragic fate is the person who took her life, no matter the context surrounding their actions.
