The article is certainly sympathetic.
Given what I've seen, which cannot be unseen, I'd have to disagree with you...

A 38-year-old Milwaukee woman was charged with homicide Wednesday after she admitted killing her child's father, with whom she had a volatile relationship for at least 10 years, according to court records.
The fatal stabbing occurred after the man, 41-year-old Wyland D. Thompson, jumped on the woman during an argument and she broke free, grabbing a large kitchen knife to scare him, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday against Temika S. Marker. When Thompson overpowered her and took the weapon, Marker feared he would cut her, so she ran to the kitchen for another knife. As Thompson came toward her again, she fatally stabbed him, she told police.

As I always say, “If I had killed him, back when he deserved it, I’d be out of prison by now!” ;)
We have too many unlicensed knives in this society. /sarc.
Yep. Got a WHOLE kitchen drawer just FULL of ‘em. And a Louisville Slugger behind the kitchen door, next to the double-barrel. Just in case. ;)
She didn't have to run away. The Supreme Court has already ruled that you have no duty to leave your own house to escape an attacker in order to avoid a confrontation.
Since when is killing an armed man carrying a knife murder?
When your abuser grabs a steak knife, you grab a carving knife or meat cleaver if you know what’s good for you.
Given what I see here I’m not sure that I’d vote “guilty”.
Go about you business peasants, there is nothing to see here, there wasn’t any GUN VIOLENCE.
Doesn’t look good for her. No indication of who started the fight but she was the one to escalate to weapons, and she already has a wrap sheet for domestic abuse. She might get some sympathy from the jury for being a woman but the neck tattoo ain’t gonna help.
The article is certainly sympathetic.

EEEEEEKK!! And first thing in the morning too.
She does look more like the ‘slowly poison you to death ‘ type though.
"Lady Astor, if you were my wife, I'd drink it!"
Does meth make your eyebrows fall out?
I meant that I might vote "not guilty" as a juror.Having now seen her picture I'm certain that I'd never want to date her...but those are two entirely different issues.
Did I say it was? An armed man CAN have his knife sheathed and/or his gun holstered. He remains ARMED but he isn't "brandishing."
I love that last word. It really ONLY has one meaning: imminent use.
Meth, no doubt. Probably both of them.
I’d vote to convict.
