Was she drinking? If so, she may have had an episode of limbic rage, something that occurs frequently with alcoholics.
And her very concerned family let her travel alone - to rehab?
No...this is very unfortunate and sad for the family.
"Tragic?" No, not from what we know. When a loser dies, we have a "waste," not a "tragedy."
This one has deep do-do written all over it...The public advocate is a professional victimologist and by definition the police are guilty, guilty, guilty.
You forgot Victor, Betsy’s husband. He was president of AFSCME District Council 37 (DC37), the largest municipal union in New York City.
The report I heard yesterday was that no one knew she was in Phoenix or going to Tucson. I am surprised no one caught this on camera phone aka the Taze Me Bro video, or the UCLA tase in the library.
They said that she was screaming at the top of her lungs and continued to scream in the holding cell and when she stopped screaming the guard/officer (whatever) went back to see why she stopped screaming. She was dead.
Your listing of this poor disturbed woman’s political donations imply that she was a liberal Democrat.
So what’s your point?
And her name is Gotbaum. Right—now it’s making some sense.
In 2001, Manning achieved the second largest commercial punitive damages verdict in Arizona history. The jury awarded Manning’s client a defense verdict on claims made against his clients and then awarded over $26 million in punitive damages.

In 1996, a successful five-count financial fraud complaint filed by Manning against then-Arizona’s Governor Fife J. Symington, III led to an eventual indictment by a federal grand jury. In 1999, he represented the family of a 34-year old man who was beaten to death by inmates in the Maricopa County Jail, which resulted in the largest ever wrongful death and civil rights settlement in Arizona history against defendants Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. In a 2003 case against the Sheriff’s Office, as a result of the Sheriff’s Office refusal to settle the case, Manning and his trial team achieved a $9 million federal court verdict.

My thoughts exactly. Doesn’t sound right.
alas, you are right. The “legal rights” of the mentally ill pretend they can judge if they need medicine. But they don’t think straight, so how can they decide?

If she was a chronic alcohol abuser, she probably was not eating.
