Of course BR was the victim. One, he's lost his wife, which is far more significant than anyone else's loss. Two, he had to put up with her all those years. Three, he had to kill her, which was unpleasant. Four, after he killed her, she didn't even clean up after herself, and he had to dispose of her body, which was horrendous. Five, he had to lie, which was an indignity for a proud and honourable man. Six, he risked his daughter's affection. Seven, he now has to spend years in a yucky and dangerous gaol. Eight, the judge will speak to him with disrespect. Nine, if he hadn't managed his financial affairs so well as to be broke, he would also have had to pay his lawyer for the mess he's in.
