Any woman, 59, who had just been arrested for trying to choke her husband, would look old and tired, and depressed. These things don't happen in a vacuum. Unless the woman is nuts, I am pretty sure that the attack was not unprovoked. Perhaps she responded in a public situation because it was the only place that she felt safe enough to attack him, because she knew that he wouldn't hit her in public. She doesn't look very big, I'm sure that the husband could have easily over powered her, if he thought it necessary.
Reading the report on smoking gun, he seemed like kind of a weenie.

Could be, but it's all a guess at this point.
I hope that she gets medical help and a good place to start would be her family doctor.
