I'm compelled to agree, I am sick of hearing about new types of victims some
lawyer has discovered.

Superman III made me think I could fly, Natural Born Killers made me
massacre a crowd, teenage mutant ninja turtles made my child enter the
sewer, the government should have prevented me from Doctor shopping, the
casinos make me gamble, I was temporarily insane, etc etc.

In short: I'm a victim of circumstance, genetics, my own intelligence and
emotional stability!  Of course until any of these victims get into court,
they would claim to have free will.
