I hope things turn out good for her

As part of the purse snatcher's sentence, the guy should be required to carry a purse all the time, in prison. Get caught without it, get time added to his sentence.

Found it.

Damn she nailed the asshole.

Apparently not...

"...Braswell was also charged with misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon, WLOS reported."

Braswell was also charged with misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon, WLOS reported.

WTF? I can't see how they could get any jury NOT to nullify here. How else was she reasonably expected to get her purse back?

It's going to cost her a lot more than was in her purse, for a lawyer.

Figured that,you don't have to agree or like it but it's still assault with a deadly weapon when he didn't use one.....I know....my brother-in law sucker punched me once and when I got up there was a pipe from clothes line on ground which somehow hit him over the head.......I swear to this day I still don't know how it happened
I might wear a tutu to raise money for Special Olympics but just don't sucker punch me

Meanwhile, in Canada...

Woman who ran over suspected purse snatcher in Montreal cemetery could face charges - Montreal - CBC News

A 44-year-old woman who had her purse stolen in Montreal's Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery and ran over the suspected robber with her car could face charges of assault with a weapon, police say.

The incident happened Wednesday morning near the corner of Côte-des-Neiges Road and Forest Hill Avenue.

After receiving a 911 call around 9:30 a.m., police arrived to find a 46-year-old man pinned under the woman's car.

Montreal police spokesman Const. Jean-Pierre Brabant said the man stole the woman's purse from her car and took off on a bicycle.

The woman chased him down in her car and he ended up under the vehicle.

"He's now in stable condition and we don't fear for his life," Brabant said.

The woman was taken to hospital, where she was treated for shock.

Brabant said the man could be charged with theft and the woman could face a charge of assault with a weapon.

Brabant said in that situation, the best course of action is to call 911.

"Try to get all the information and a description of the person but we don't suggest chasing someone with a vehicle, obviously," he said.

Brabant said it should be clear later today if woman will face charges in the incident.

------

Right, call 911 and give the perp ample time to escape.

I don't think so.

Yep! Hopefully she will only get a parole sentence, but the laws still give the crooks all the advantages. I say a crime is a crime and all their rights are automatically revoked.

Pics of preggers lady?

Most likely there would be a charge. You cannot shoot someone who is running away unless they are trying to hurt you.

While I think we should change those laws so that a citizen can go after those who have robbed them with deadly force even when their is no threat the law is what we have now.

I hope she has a decent jury and get's off.

False. This is Texas. If there is a reasonable belief/ expectation you will not recover your property, shoot away.

I think she'll probably get probation and a lecture from the judge.

And a five figure bill from her lawyer, it would have been cheaper to let him have the purse.

That's only applicable at night. This purse snatching happened during the day time. She may very well have been arrested had she fought back in Texas, too.
