Option 2, largely for the reason Ernest posted above.  It is unclear if the intention was to kill him.. she may have just been trying to cause non-lethal harm or any harm she could because she was so emotionally unbalanced over the whole thing.

I'd say she was unable to control herself in the situation and thus cannot be held personally responsible for the crime.

If I were the judge presiding over the case and the jury found her guilty, I'd give her the minimum sentence possible allowed by law.
