re: Covington doctor shot and killed by wife

Can't they hold her for a certain amount of time without charging her?

Don't think she would leave.

I would think if they were just deciding what to charge her with and not if they were going to charge her she'd be locked up

Why would they? There's no need to. She called the police and they responded to her call.

I doubt she's going to run. She's going to stay around for her share of his estate.

If they "hold" her or charge "her," her attorney will make the argument that there was a rush to judgment. If it does go to trial, a prosecutor (let's hope that it's not Julie Knight) will be in a position to say that the police took their time, developed the evidence, and made a rational decision based on the evidence.
