The actual problem is that someone talked her into pleading guilty. She could have appealed a conviction, but not her guilty plea. That is why she has to pay. She said, in court, on the record, that she murdered him. She should have said she was defending herself from further harm and under the influence of drugs and alcohol he forced on her as part of his attack on her.
I’m sorry, but I don’t believe these stories anymore until I hear the whole truth from someone who knows. Why did her lawyer ask her to take the plea to a serious felony charge? Would you feel differently if she ran away from home at 13 with her new “boyfriend” (e.g. pimp), that she already had a history of substance abuse which he supplied, lived with him for two years, then found out he was cheating on her with other girls and stabbed him to death? I’m sorry to be so cynical, but unfortunately this sort of situation is far more common than kidnapping a random person off the street and raping them.
We need the judge’s name, home address and all other contact information.
I did seem as though the narrative was over simplifying the truth. I have a hard time believing she was only a victim.
does that happen? Women kidnapping and raping men?
Right. The Iowa law does not require you to pay $150,000 automatically if you kill another person. That penalty only applies if you are convicted of a felony that resulted in the death of another person. So it that sense, the law is fine.
The real issue here is why she pled guilty, and the exact circumstances of what happened. Without digging further into the case or evidence, it's pretty tough to have an informed opinion just based on conclusory press reports.
As usual at Free Republic - we know absolutely NOTHING about the prosecution case.
Bottom Line...
No court appointed defense attorney would have allowed her to plead guilty to Voluntary Manslaughter unless there was significant risk she might be convicted of First or Second Degree murder.
Why was she even charged?
Manson Family.
Terrorist groups.
Slipping something in a drink to then later rob a guy.
Women usually work with guys who will do the heavy lifting but they still decide to be part of the group doing it. I’d kill them all if I had to in order to escape.

I’m okay with girls who kill men that make a habit out of luring and then pimping out children. Even if it’s out of rage in discovering she’s getting too old for him and he’s planning to replace her.
Dead pimps can’t lure more children. She saved them.
Yeah, gofundme seems to selectively apply their rule against raising money to pay off legal judgments.
Imagine that...
