Hmmmm... 3 pending assault charges,
one of which will be either manslaughter/homicide..
...and she is now distraught???
“She is distraught right now, having heard what happened,” her court-appointed lawyer, Thomas P. Glynn, told Joun. “This was an accident. It was not an intentional act.”

I guess all 3 assault cases were accidents.
Must have been accidental assault.
