..Eighteen Year-old Muslimah In Prison for Killing Rapist
An 18 year-old in America has been charged of murder and is being held
in a jail in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Hala Gabr, was just 17 and three weeks of turning 18, when her foster
mother took her to Atlantic City, while she went into a casino. Hala
was left by herself to see the sights. After a while, Hala called a
cab to go back and meet up with her foster mother.
The cab driver offered her $20. to have sex with her. When Hala
refused, the cab driver pulled a knife on her and forced to a motel
room where he raped her violently. Medical records proved that she was
sexually violated. At some point during the whole ordeal, she hit the
cab driver with a bottle and knocked him to the ground. As he went
down, she reached for the knife and stabbed him 13 times.
She hid his body in the bed under the mattress, cleaned up the room,
drove off in his car and threw all of his belongings in a nearby
stream. These items have been found, negating the prosecution's claim
that she was stealing his belongings.
Because she was so shocked by the whole incident, she got into a car
accident, and was taken unconscious to a hospital. When she was
revived, she fled to her father's house in Brooklyn (from where she
originally escaped from abuse and thus put into a foster home). The
police found her purse in the car and traced her there, where she was
arrested.
The rapist, authorities said, frequently picked up prostitutes and was
known as a sxual predator in the Atlantic City area.
Hala does not have a criminal record, and although she cannot get the
death penalty because of her age at the time, she is subject to life
without parole for 50 years. She is currently being held on $500,000
dollars bail.
We are urging the readers to make du'a for Hala in every prayer and to
request that sisters write her at the following address:

Muezzin,
I'm not necessarily suggesting that the story is entirely fabricated (although that is a possibility), I'm suggesting that we may be missing a big part of the picture. So its a good idea to find more info especially if one plans to take action.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Surely I was sent to perfect the qualities of righteous character" [Musnad Ahmad, Muwatta Mâlik]
Subhân'Allâh, Ya Allâh :'(.. How can people be so cruel? Poor poor sister.. I feel so sad for her.. If she has to stay in prison for 50 years, is there anywhere you can donate money, so she inshâ'Allâh can be bailed out?

May Allâh ta'âla strenghten our sabr and grant us Jannah amiin.. Allâhu Akbar!

Well if you were a female nearly scared to death and you just hit a guy who could beat the living day lights out of you.I'm sure you wouldn't just stand there shaking okay.Seriously that's reallly scary think about it.

you could just hit him with the bottle once, and the man would be knocked out, to stab him 13 times indicates that the sister knew what she was doing and killed him in hatred, that is murder not self defence

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.
