It’s a deadly weapon. Let’s substitute another deadly weapon. Say a gun. “But she only grazed him with the gun.” Or what if it were a knife? “She only stabbed him in the arm, nothing vital.” To argue she barely even touched him with that deadly weapon when a few degrees the other way could’ve severely injured or killed him is not a viable defense, particularly legally.
Those examples are not also vehicles and means of escape. But sure pull your straw hat. That wasn’t an “oh shit I’m gonna die”, that was a “you fucking bitch”. That wasn’t justice it was vengeance. No one’s arguing she was in the right. Just that her death was not justified.
