Reply #11: What was her actual plea?

[struggle4progress]

Newspaper from September says the grand jury indicted her for aggravated assault and family violence battery. OP link indicates she pleaded to lesser charges

And actual circumstances, not fully reported, might matter a great deal here, Ambien/Zolpidem overdoses can potentially be fatal, but it is usually prescribed as a sleeping aid, and 10-20 the sleeping aid dose has been used experimentally for anticonvulsant or muscle-relaxant purposes, so the lethal/effective dose ratio must be rather high. Moreover, it seems usually to be prescribed in tablet form, so it's not clear exactly what her husband encountered: a drink full of tablets, perhaps?

I can't see how this helps anybody think clearly about winning the fight for gay rights
