An unfortunate choice of headline from last summer, given the current situation with Diamond Reynolds. She is facing 2 counts of felony assault with a hammer, 12 years in prison, and has bail set at $90,000. "Unique strength", indeed:

Philando Castiles Fmr. Girlfriend Charged With Hammer Assault
The victim said Reynolds punched her in the head while Blair grabbed her hair. She says Reynolds pulled out a hammer and hit her in the head, causing her to fall to the ground. She said she blacked out briefly, then came back to consciousness to find Reynolds continuing to strike her with the tool.
She says she tried to get away when Reynolds started hitting her car with the hammer, but she was soon confronted by 25-year-old Dyamond Richardson, who allegedly sprayed her with bear mace before the group fled the parking lot.
The victim, 25, suffered serious injuries and was taken to Regions Hospital.
Reynolds is charged with a count of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and a count of third-degree assault inflicting substantial bodily harm. She could face up to 12 years in prison if convicted on both counts.

Diamond Reynolds, girlfriend of Philando Castile, accused of assault with a hammer
In a criminal complaint filed by Washington County prosecutors, the 24-year-old victim told St. Paul investigators she was driving near Johnson Parkway and Magnolia Avenue when a silver SUV made a U-turn to follow her. She pulled into Jessamine Lane. She said Reynolds and another woman came at her and Reynolds punched her in the head. At some point in the scuffle, the victim said Reynolds hit her in the head with a hammer and smashed her vehicle's windshield.
The victim was taken to Regions Hospital. The criminal complaint said she identified the three women from photo lineups. St. Paul police say Reynolds was arrested on Thursday.
The Ramsey County Attorney, citing a conflict, referred the case to Washington County. The Ramsey County Attorney is prosecuting the Yanez case.

Diamond Reynolds, two others charged in alleged hammer attack on woman
Reynolds punched the 24-year-old victim in the head with a closed fist and Blair grabbed her hair. At one point, Reynolds hit the woman in the head with a hammer, causing her to fall to the ground. While the victim was on the ground, Reynolds continued to hit her in the head with a hammer, causing her to black out for a moment.
The victim told police, Reynolds then with the hammer hit the victim's car's windshield, breaking it. While the woman tried to get up, another vehicle pulled up and Dyamond Richardson got out and started spraying bear mace at the victim, who started to run away.
Reynolds, Richardson, and Blair then left in two vehicles.
The victim identified the three women in a photo lineup.

Diamond Reynolds, two others charged in alleged hammer attack on woman
Prosecutors on Friday charged Diamond Reynolds with felony assault in an alleged hammer attack on a woman in St. Paul.
One of the woman told police there was a continuing conflict between her and a friend of Tuesdays assault victim. In February, Reynolds specifically threatened to come after the victim in a Facebook post, according to the criminal complaint.
The Ramsey County attorneys office asked Washington County to handle the case to avoid a conflict of interest. Reynolds is listed as a victim and witness in Ramsey Countys case against officer Yanez.
Reynolds attorney could not be reached for comment Friday. She is scheduled to make her first court appearance in the case Monday.
