If the animation was accurate (I know, I know) then she wasn’t at fault. He was obviously a jerk.  
If the animation was accurate.

According to net rumor at least, [he’s been offered a reality show](http://yourtreasures.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978448189). IANAL, but if true would this violate “profiting from a crime” statutes (e.g. the ones that prevent a convicted mobster from getting a multimillion dollar deal for his memoirs)?

Oh I don’t know. If they went to arrest him shortly after the incident and found him banging a girlfriend I think that would have made the story because of time frame and humor.
