Woman loses legal round in assault on husband

Story here. Excerpt:

'The Utah Court of Appeals has rejected the argument that a Taylorsville woman, accused of ramming her SUV into her husband, should be able to include jury instructions regarding "extreme emotional distress" as part of her case.

Brenda Christine White, 33, is charged with attempted murder, a first-degree felony, and criminal mischief, a second-degree felony, in connection with an April 26, 2006, incident in which White and her estranged husband, Jon White, argued about money, child custody and other matters.

Prosecutors say an enraged Brenda White returned four hours later, chased her husband in her vehicle as he ran for cover on foot, smashed the SUV through a Salt Lake office building's glass door and hit her husband once, throwing him about 10 feet.'
