The attorney of a Utah woman charged with ramming an SUV through an office building to hit her estranged husband says she was on a large amount of anxiety medication and was “not in her right mind.”
Attorney Jason Schatz made the argument Tuesday during the start of the trial for 36-year-old Brenda Christine White.
“On that day, Brenda White’s body was behind the wheel of that Ford Explorer,” Schatz said. “What’s in dispute is why this happened.”
The incident happened in 2006 but there have been several appeals because her defence attorneys have appealed to use the argument that White was under extreme emotional distress.
Authorities said White hit her ex-husband twice with her Ford Explorer after crashing through the office building in Salt Lake County.
