If it's true, then I feel sorry for her, but I think if she gets off with less than a murder charge, anyone in any abusive situation can just commit murder and it will be overlooked and hands slapped, but no real punishment. I think it's pretty scary.

Oh, I don't think she needs to get off at all, she murdered the man and no matter what the reason is, it wasn't self-defense so she is guilty.

Couldn't it be seen as self defense from the mental anguish this bozo put her through?

Doubt it since he was apparently asleep and she shot him in the back.

I have no doubt in my mind he was a creep.

This situation unfortunately brings out what's wrong with society. We have so many shades of grey that we lose sight of the facts. Moral relativism has even crept into our religious thinking.
