She also says she killed him in self defense. Her testimony lacks credibility. Who's to say that she didn't show up on his doorstep, force her way inside and kill him in cold blood? Maybe we caught a potential serial killer after only her first kill. I highly doubt either of those things, but again, as you said: there's a lot we don't know.

Then you admit to missing my point. My point is that you're basing your opinion more on who she killed then on her past. What if she killed a nun? Or an innocent 15 year old girl? Or an infant in a crib? Would you still say her past means she should not be punished more than a few years in prison? I highly doubt it. I think you would sympathize with her situation, but also think she deserves her fate if she killed someone other than an older gentleman who most likely paid money to have sex with her.

Yes, because she killed someone who most likely was a piece of shit willing to pay money to eff an underage girl.
