SALT LAKE CITY – The attorney of a Utah woman charged with ramming an SUV through an office building to hit her estranged husband says she was on a large amount of anxiety medication and was "not in her right mind."
Attorney Jason Schatz made the argument Tuesday during the start of the trial for 36-year-old Brenda Christine White.
"On that day, Brenda White's body was behind the wheel of that Ford Explorer," Schatz said. "What's in dispute is why this happened."
The incident happened in 2006 but there have been several appeals because her defense attorneys have appealed to use the argument that White was under extreme emotional distress.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that White faces charges of attempted murder and criminal mischief. The trial is scheduled to last through Thursday in 3rd District Court in Salt Lake City.
Authorities said White hit her ex-husband twice with her Ford Explorer after crashing through the office building in Salt Lake County. More
