she committed murder.”””
I always thought Murder had to be “Pre-Meditated”.
Never thought such was the case here.
She was in his house uninvited, which is a crime, and satisfies murder charges in many instances. Same thing if a burglar enters a house then shoots the homeowner. Even if the killing wasn’t premeditated, he’s usually charged with murder even if it was a reaction, not a premeditated act.
In any case, had she been charged with manslaughter, she probably wouldn’t have gotten a more lenient sentence than the one she received.
