That doesn't mean s*** to the law, she broke into her estranged husband's home, violated the restraining order and stole multiple firearms, which is a serious felony. A sob story doesn't make you an exception.

Agree to disagree.

Every excuse you made for her then applies to literally anyone who claims they committed felonies in the name of fear, no matter how irrational.

And you missed the point again. You keep trying to apply my logic in a general sense when my point is to apply the law in a contextual sense. As in everything is a case by case basis.

If you see a guy pitch a brick at a restaurant storefront. He does it in anger, should you charge him for it? Yes. How about if he did it to trigger the alarm to disrupt a dispute that could have left the store owner killed? Iffy. This is my point. Look at the purpose of the law, look at why and how the law was broken and make decisions accordingly.

She didn't violate the law to save anyone. Not even herself.

While I agree the question of whether she what she did is theft still remains to be determined, how can you know what she was thinking? If the husband really was going to be released the next day, she might think (reasonably) that he would use the guns on her (as has happened in many past domestic abuse & restraining order cases).
