But I can understand how one would resort to killing someone else under certain circumstances. Maybe he was one of those nutjobs that would have made her live the rest of her life in fear if she left him because he'd hunt her down and kill her. Then maybe. maybe.

What, did you move out of California or something. In Cali that lady would totally walk. She would not get convicted an walk immediately, but she would do some court ordered couseling for a few weeks, then adios. If the victim being an asshole was adequate justification, the population in the US would not be a problem anymore, half the people would turn up alligator food

She probably didn't have the guts to shoot, stab, or whack him over the head with a iron skillet. So she just goes into the other room to wait it out where she don't have to watch. Push anybody too far and they'll go postal; I guess he didn't know when to quit. It's strange how people want to feel sorry for an abuser when he finally gets his.

Tobra - I highly doubt she'd walk, based on the nature of the crime. If it was a crime of fear, she'd have found a more humane way or even quick way to kill the guy. This seems to me like a cold premeditated murder. If you can get life in prison for 1/2 gram of meth on a 3rd strike, I think they'd sentence this broad to at least the minimum sentence of a manslaughter charge.

It would never happen, she would get a few actors interested in her cause, abused woman and all. They would do a movie of the week, she would go in a psych hospital for 6 months, then get outpatient counseling a few times a week
