What we need to remember, is that your every day normal person, doesn't get mixed up in this lifestyle in the first place, so these 2 were nothing but a couple of straight up low-lifes. The kind if we saw on the street, we'd cringe and walk the other way. But, I was furious that the show made excuses for the guy. They even had Addie, 'talking' and saying something like, 'I have to admit, I didn't make things easier'. No way, should they have put those words in her mouth. It was bad enough when his mother, friends, etc., passive aggressively blamed the victim, but it's not fair to have the dead victim blaming herself. I understand that they want to keep things balanced, but this episode went too far, and it really bothered me. Because of this, I didn't think I'd like the episode, but in the end, I did. Overall, they did a good job, especially with the atmosphere. I remember when this happened, and I was just plain disgusted, so maybe in an effort to find a real story about real people, (that didn't wallow in disgust), the show was forced to hold back a little.
