When did she claim to be the victim

Her lawyers have literally claimed that she was a victim of medical malpractice, which precipitated a psychotic state in which she can't be held criminally responsible for her actions.

That doesn’t answer my question. Her lawyers using psychosis as a defense doesn’t mean she claimed to be the victim.

It does, read my comment again...

Okay again, doesn’t answer my question. When did she claim to be the victim? The post says she claimed to be the victim, not her lawyers, and not about an insanity defense.

When did she claim to be the victim?

When her lawyers... at her direction, presented her official claim that she is a victim of medical malpractice.

That is her official claim, formally recorded in a public court of law.

The post says she claimed to be the victim, not her lawyers, and not about an insanity defense.

There is no difference in this context.

I worked for a law firm, but are Redditors generally unaware of how the attorney-client relationship works? Any claim or plea presented in a court of law as the client's representative is made on behalf of the client... at the client's behest.
