40. They fled their house - from her - with their dad.

They waited outside for the cops to come arrest her. They later testified at her trial. (but only after she went to his house to beat him up while out on bail)

The bullet travelled from the handgun which she was holding, missed Grays head "by inches" angled up through the wall and into the ceiling of the next room.

How did the 12 year old describe the incident to the jury? "I thought I was fixin' to die"

Local community standards have some seriously fucked up standards of heroism. Everyone should read the link posted above before commenting further.

It is unambiguous. The charge should be attempted murder.
