If she had no control of her actions, lock her up in a mental asylum.
Weed usually, by the majority accounts of it's users, makes you lethargic and hungry. Unless it was meth or bath salts, weed was an excuse and she's actually a dangerous psychopath that needs to be quarantined from society.
A psychotic break can be a one time thing and has nothing to do with psychopaths. I had one once its more like a voice with the authority of god is giving you ridiculous commands you can barely resist. But its usually rare that it goes to out right murder most people probably rather run away. Usually you get meds a few years and have to regulary visit a doctor.
Just hard to prove a psychotic break.
Like most "insanity" defenses, its also so rarely able to be actually used successfully in court because if you show even the slightest hint of self-preservation or attempting to protect yourself, you prove you aren't insane enough. The only times it is successful is on people who are clearly not even in our reality and make no attempts to really hide it, like Ed Gein.
So its only being accepted as a legal defense here because its woman.
A lot of legal precedent winds up getting based on "OH it's a woman who brought this case," and then suddenly everything else gets thrown out from the old rules.
An important lesson everyone can learn from "true crime" cases.
Women can and will testify against you for things they did just to get out of any legal trouble. And the courts will accept that, even if you are completely innocent her testimony will be treated as gospel.
possible but the article just hasnt enough info about what else happened
This image alone has enough info. She has enough of her mind about her to hide her face, meaning she lacks any insanity.
You don't recover from a "psychotic break" anywhere near that quickly, if at all. Drug induced or not, your mind doesn't ever snap back from such a degeneration.
