Horrific.
Just to clarify, was the DA that put her in jail the same one that was prosecuting her rapist? IOW, they were trying to make sure she was alive and available to testify against the rapist, and didn't care how much further harm they caused her in the process.
That is the kind of destructive insanity that results when efforts to get a particular verdict become more important than decency, fairness, and other principles of the legal system of that must be protected and given more importance than achieving a preferred result in any given case, even if it means some of the guilty go free.
