She has responsibility for most of her actions up to the point where she was taken into “custody.” Custody means that some other authority takes responsibility for your welfare.
No it doesn't. Nothing about being in custody removes your responsibility for your actions. If you don't think so, try and assault an officer next time you are in custody.

“No it doesn’t.”
Yes, it does. They’re not allowed to let you just die in jail. They have to feed and clothe you and see that you get some level of medical care.
It was a “holding cell” at a major US airport, not an oobliet in a medievel castle.
(I got “oobliet” from the movie “Labyrinth,” not because I’m some dark ages torture geek.)
