Correct.

It doesn't "allow" her to kill anyone. Never said it did. I said it should have been taken more into consideration when she was being sentenced.

You can have a tragic past, but that doesn't give you carte blanche to kill whomever you want and not face full punishment for it. Kill the ones abusing you? That's a different story.

If at any time I said she had the right to kill him (or anyone) with no repercussions please show me.

And she was found guilty of that and punished. Too severely in my opinion.

Good for you. I don't agree. 50 years s overkill given her situation in my opinion. Thanks.
