The usual plea bargain.  Charge him with insanely disproportionate crimes to force him to say guilty regards of true guilt in order to  get charges reduced.  A laundry basket?????  Today they are plastic.  It bounced off a wall????  Then "hit" her face?  Seriously?  We all know she experienced no injury from this type of event.  She was only pissed off.  It is unfortunate that her part is the matter was not discussed or disclosed.  But standard stuff and many many will support this kind of over reaction.
