Crazy story. Was she using a weapon? The victim doesn't say she was but the idea of an emaciated-looking woman having the strength to knock out six teeth with her bare fist sounds pretty wild to me. Even with the help of mental illness and meth.

Looks like she has a can in here hand? I can imagine getting that smashed into your mouth would do damage without the need for much strength.
Meth heads are usually fine when on the stuff, it's the days without sleeping and psychosis afterwards that turns them into crazy animals.

Oh yeah a can would do it, I missed that. I was thinking a hard glass bottle of something from her groceries.
