Obviously she is stalling/delaying the time for her husbands crime.

@Arafat ,
Your sentence makes no sense.

What are you trying to say? Is the husband in jail? If so, then she is passing time while he does his jail term.

@dalehileman,
But agree w/punk. Instead however I had assumed that the crime hadn't yet been committed, that somehow she was erecting temporary roadblocks to its commission

@dalehileman,
Or is the crime in progress and she is somehow stretching out its conclusion

@Arafat ,
So the girl was creating a diversion, while her husband was doing whatever he was doing.
