I swear there was a thread this morning on this. Maybe i'm wrong and read it on Deadspin myself.
Crazy stuff.
Shouldn't she be permitted to use not the insanity defense, but the ole Scotch-Irish temper defense? She couldn't help it.
Remember this:
The phrase is "Going Mehdievil on someone"
Five kids and still living together while "separated/divorced"? I'd be surprised if there WASN'T some rough stuff.
When the ladies go nuts you take your hits for a while and leave. Or sleep on the coach or in the basement. What did he do, call the cops?
Who is the "coach" in the basement? I'd like to imagine it is Gags.

By taking your licks and calling the cops, abuse is abuse, you don't have to be strong to hurt someone physically.
i know liz well and this does NOT surprise me.
The one time I met Liz she proved to be a very disrespectful character with no regard for others. Lock her up and throw away the key!
C'mon guys... we all know super aggressive "crazy runner" women like this. Most likely there was some kind of disturbance, and when neighbors called the cops the husband was not about to let himself take the fall for his separated troll of a wife.
"No sir officer, I did not start the altercation, she assaulted ME. You know what? HELL YES I would like to press charges."
I actually know Liz and Peter very well and have heard first hand the stories from both parties. The pair have been living seperate lives for some time now and unfortunately these things sometime flare up. Had it not been for Liz's success in the past it would never have made the news but unfortunately for them everything they do is under the scrutiny of the public eye - thats the price you pay for being successful!!
I hope that it is resolved fairly and that they can both move on with their new lives and Liz (as she is the public figure) is allowed to continue what she is doing best just now and that is coaching and guiding the future generation of distance runners.
holy crap that's a funny photo. I half-expected the caption to read 'Hulk Smash!!'.
