badass recovering torture victim (spreading arms wide to explain): "honestly if i thought i was guitly of anything bad i would be overcome with flashbacks of torture and start begging you to stop hurting me! maybe i'd black out until you decided things were right." judge: "we have to adhere to the law here." badass recovering torture victim: "then you should go arrest slave boss and his hierarchy of torturers" [spreading arms wide again] "and give me treatment for DID!" badass recovering torture victim: "they need treatment too"
