Failure to provide - mental health

My aunt has been charged with failure to provide. She previously had a DUI five years ago. She believes she will get off due to 'mental health' ie being too upset to provide as the date coincides with the anniversary of her mother's death only one year ago. While this is awful, I believe she is an alcoholic and it would be better for her to lose her license. She has hired a lawyer who says she can win.

How likely is it to get off on 'mental health' in these circumstances? She has a nice manner that means people tend to be sympathetic to her. I am also sympathetic (even if it doesn't sound it here) but I am very worried she will end up hurting someone if she keeps her car.

I don't know if the police were able to get any readings from her.
 
Sorry have realised this might be more appropriate in the general discussion forum as I suppose I'm asking more for legal knowledge than advice - please move if needed.
