I am not sure they should charge her.

Sounds like stupid and stupid to me.

Why should stupid be living on the county dime?

This is clearly a moronic stunt.
At the same time prison costs plus childcare costs for her current child and upcoming newborn shouldn't be passed directly to taxpayers.
There has got to be a better way than tossing her in prison for a decade.

I really disagree with you. In general, I think prosecutors are overzealous but in this case, I think the woman should be charged, in fact, I think she should face murder charges. I think an example should be made of her, nationwide, so that the next young fool will not, under any circumstances, point a loaded gun at anyone and pull the trigger — unless it is to stop a crime! She deserves a long long time in prison. (Or attack any person with any other dangerous object no matter how foolish and innocent the reason may seem to be.)

Someone dies, even if non intentional, will be charged.
