I strongly disagree with the judge that a "reasonable person" would have dealt with it the same way.
She was advised by the police that it was a civil matter; it was a civil matter, she should have gone to court and gotten a restraining order, like any reasonable person would have done. Then the police would have had something to enforce.
Workingdad, I believe "the police contacted her" refers to the undercover officer approaching her when she was asking around for someone to kill her husband. Again, I strongly disagree with the judge here. The custody hearing was days away, it was certainly on her mind for the preceeding weeks. She was asking around for a killer prior to the court hearing and the undercover police man approached her just prior to the court date. She asked him if it could be done "this weekend" (according to the article I read, not the court transcript.) She certainly had some urgency that it be done immediately before the hearing.
