Depends on the state laws. It's for certain she couldn't prove Ability, Intent, and opportunity in the courts. Sometimes the police and prosecutors exercise discretion in these cases, and we'll probably never know all of the facts in the case you have brought forth. A friend of mine many years ago shot someone trying to break down his door. The guy trying to break down the door was unarmed. (years later he was shot and killed by another man) The "victim" was a known hard case, and later ended up in prison. Neither my friend,or the man who killed the guy were ever charged. As much as I hate to say it, there are just some people that this world is better off without. In some cases the prosecutors and police recognize those things and act accordingly.
