Wow. Compared to a case from season 3 in New York, where the guy who didn't even kill anyone got a life sentence, this girl got off easy. Manslaughter and a 10 year sentence and she'll be paroled in 5? Wow.
In case your wondering, our state of MO, a red state (thank god), has good self defense laws. Had this actually been self defense, she wouldn't have gotten any time. But, the fact she never reported the murder and even tried to cover it up, along with lying in her story about the amount of shots and locations, tells me this wasn't completely self defense. I think it may have been self defense at first with the shot to the shoulder. Then when he kept coming she ended him. And made another shot or two in the head for good measure. The guy had it coming sure. But this case wasn't a pure self defense case closed one no punishment. I think the 10 year sentence is lenient personally. And her mom? Same. My issue is where was the dad and brothers (?) at? Also, was this guy such a big pos they couldn't find anyone to speak on his behalf? Weird.
