Okay slow down there lawyer. :thumbs_up AmeenMuezzin said:I agree and disagree. I agree that the 13 stabbings are... suspect, and will definitely not work in her favour. They're also far beyond the defence of self-defence. Her state of mind would help in mitigation (i.e. they might 'soften the blow' of a sentence), but the fact that she stabbed the guy 13 times is a very hard fact to justify. At best she might be able to plead insanity on the grounds of diminished responsibility (since she suffered a sudden and temporary loss of self-control), but it's extremely doubtful she could plead self-defence.
I disagree that she killed him in hatred, since I don't know what she was thinking. However, a jury may very well see this as evidence of malice aforethought.
May Allah grant her ease

Murder sentences are served concurrently (at the same time). She'll be entitled for parole if she's well-behaved, which I think is likely inshallah.akhee said:i dont agree with you akhi.. shes your sister and if you come to reality - she shouldn't. and even if you say she should get punished - a person gets life for murdering someone and that equals 25years. now how come shes getting 50years for it?
A lot of people kill in anger or some other strong emotion. Though I may or may not agree with the motives, it does not change the fact that a crime has been comitted. It's like if a guy steals to feed his family, though I agree with the motives, he's still technically a thief.Second - she got assaulted really violently and if that doesn't make you angry (remember shes your own sister) then i dno what will..
I honestly don't know. The US system is different from that of the UK so...and they never still put the amount of years lower [due to her being assaulted], and my last point is - she was in a mode of distress where she couldn't think straight and therefore the penalty should drop lower from that too. why is her bail so high? is $500,000 really the price for murder bail?
We have to abide by the laws of the land we live in, whether we agree with them or not.i dont understand how you agree with laws like this.. is this really equality?
She'd have a really bad lawyer if she wasn't advised to plead something like that.Rabi'ya said:I would suggest that in the heat of the moment she would have been confused....could she not plead temporary insanity?! its a possibility no?!
