A few months prior to the assault charge she was involved in a fatal collision with a pedestrian in Maryland. She claimed she called he husband immediately after the accident. It is unclear the precise time that the accident happened, but she may have been on the phone with him at the time and used that excuse to cover up the distracted driving. In an obvious tumultuous relationship were they fighting on the phone? Also in Maryland  charges can be dropped at the request of the "victim", and men tend not to proceed with domestic assault charges. If a male appointee for GG was suspected of beating his wife, even if the charges were dropped, how do you think that would go over?
