Texas woman who ran over husband to be aquitted?

SJones writes "The Texas woman who ran over her husband 3 times while his daughter was riding in the car with her will probably get away with it by claiming, as Lorena Bobbitt did, that she acted out of 'sudden passion' and is therefore not responsible for her actions. Sudden passion is a defense generally reserved only for women who are clearly guilty of horrible violent crimes such as sexual mutilations or murders. It's simply the "temporary insanity" claim reworded and the standard punishment, which the story doesn't mention, is 'counseling' and no jail time. The story is here."
