Absolutely, this is true. But I still fear a defense would try to harm Heather's character anyway, and that is why I hope a trial can be prevented. You never know what a juror might think, or do, to make their decision. Some people are very narrow-minded and her twitter is quite revealing, at times. JMO
I doubt that anything used against Heather would actually stick, but as you said, I'm worried they would try anyway. That sort of stuff is so disgusting. But if an attorney thinks they can paint HE as emotionally volatile, dangerous, a delinquent, etc., they very well might, and I hate to think that Heather's family or anybody would have to sit and listen to that stuff. A distant family member of mine was raped when she was 13, and they weren't able to challenge her character in court because she was too young. I wish that were the case here.
Still, if it is used, I don't think it'll go anywhere. I'm sure the jurors will be able to see that Heather was a relatively normal 20-year-old and that none of it should lead to a defense of the Moorers.
