She's now a 24 year old woman regardless. She was 19-20 when this began and that age is filled with poor decision making and late teen-early 20 stupidity. However, if she was really any kind of "girl," she and anyone else who is ill-equipped should not be traveling with certain freedoms.
The "poor girl" routine is always used to market someone as innocent not only of the offense but in terms of adult decision making skills. The routine of making people childish and clueless when it benefits them (
they can act grown and be considered grown any other time until shit hits the fan) is rarely done for people outside of the power majority demographics.
The "poor girl" routine is even more annoying when combined with "beautiful, all-American (white)...."
As always, personal opinions of guilt/non-guilt are unimportant to me. What I consider interesting and important for public consumption is what is embedded in the case and the national/international reaction to the case. That goes for this case just as it does for every other case.
