She became jealous after she accused him of messaging other women.
Leah Hanlon, 23, attacked her ex at her home in Cardiff on November 26 last year, a sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court heard on Monday. She and the man had been separated for seven weeks when she attacked him - but she invited him to her house in Cathays.
She became jealous after thinking he was contacting other women and he showed her his phone in response. Hanlon hit him over the head with a glass bottle of Smirnoff Ice and hit him again with an ashtray, with both breaking on impact.

Prosecutor David Pinnell said the defendant went downstairs to a neighbour's flat and was followed by the man - who smashed one of the neighbour's windows. The barrister said: "As he went to leave, the defendant followed him and stabbed him just below the armpit using a knife."
The wound was one inch in length under the right arm pit and punctured the chest cavity, causing the mab to suffer a collapsed lung. He was taken to hospital where his chest was drained to allow for the lung to be reinflated. The victim suffered "life threatening compression" to the heart, windpipe and major blood vessels but went on to make a full recovery.
Hanlon, of Cwrt Sant Mihangel, Whitchurch Road, was arrested and taken to custody but when told by officers why she had been arrested, she said: "I don't know what you're on about." She later pleaded guilty to a section 20 wounding. The court heard she had on previous conviction for assaulting an emergency worker.
In mitigation, James Evans said his client not accepted the her relationship with the man had ended and she has no intentions of getting back in touch with him. He said the defendant had a "difficult family background" and became estranged from her parents at the age of 14, but had found the death of her mother hard. She was described as being "mortified" by what she had done.
Sentencing, Judge Jeremy Jenkins said the defendant could have "easily killed" her ex. He added: "Anyone who takes a knife to cause really serious injury to another person is a too serious to be dealt with by anything other than an immediate custodial sentence."
Hanlon wept and told the court "I just want to say I'm sorry" and asked the judge to take her remorse into account, but Judge Jenkins told her he had no option but to send her to prison. She was sentenced to a total of 15 months imprisonment.

Sounds like something Hillary would do to Willie “while her daughter Chelsea jogs nearby.”
If she popped those zits, she could be Laz material.
And they say romance is dead!

Woman: After that I got real mad.
She should have just waited a day or two, pretended to be a good wife, and poisoned him with home-made lemon cookies laced with a sedative. Then she could stuff his duct-taped wrapped deeply sleeping and almost dead body in a freezer and wait.
Women are too emotional and act on those immediate emotions (and so are men). If you are going to kill someone, plan it out over and long period of time (no internet research involvement since they will find that), be nice to your intended victim so the suspicion will not immediately fall on you, and work out every possible scenario. It’s still doubtful you will get away with it, but you might be able to write a book regarding the experience and make some money before they come to take you away. “Ha Ha! Hee, Hee! They are coming to take me away”!
Or, in the alternative you could just realize you love him and stay with him, or realize you do not and move out so you both will be happier. Killing someone is not the best option of all those that can be selected.
The crazy bitch seems as rational as a Zeeper....
Hillary tried to deny throwing a lamp at Bill’s forehead but the ER crew saw an imprint “250 watt bulb max.” on his skin.
Laz is a reprobate and a screeching loon.
Drugs are a terrible thing
“She became jealous after thinking he was contacting other women and he showed her his phone in response.”
She has a shortage of working grey matter.

Perhaps, perhaps not, but he could do much better than this.

She stabbed him in the armpit, a classic way to exsanguinate someone by severing a brachial artery.
Nah...Laz has taste.
This creature is a triple-bagger.
Laz does not “screech”.
Have she and Angelina Jolie ever been seen in the same room together?!
My God she only got 15 months. Gynocentric ridiculousness.
SHES AN EQUAL, GIVE HER THE SENTENCE A MAN GETS FOR DOING WHAT SHE DID!!!!
