Your Honor, my client has been tirelessly bombarded with late-night texts, disrupting her sleep and well-being. She politely requested her friend to respect her need for rest, yet these boundaries were continuously violated. Is it not a basic human right to have undisturbed sleep? The accuser's emotional neediness does not give her the right to disregard the simple request of a friend. My client deserves peace and quiet.
The defense paints a picture of a victim, but let's not forget the accuser's perspective. While boundaries are important, is it too much to ask for a friend to be there in times of need? The plaintiff's so-called 'need for rest' sounds more like a lack of empathy. She claims to not mind 'occasionally' helping, but when the going gets tough, she abandons her friend. This is a clear case of selective friendship and convenient availability.
The court acknowledges the importance of setting boundaries. However, the plaintiff clearly communicated her needs, and the defendant continued to disregard them. The defendant's emotional needs do not supersede the plaintiff's right to undisturbed rest. While friendship requires support, it should not come at the expense of one's well-being. Ignoring someone's explicit request for space is disrespectful and inconsiderate.
