My Father was/is abusive, not a single person who hasn't lived with him would say he was an abusive man. He can charm the birds from the trees. Behind closed doors it was a completely different scenario. I try to be open minded because of that.

Yes she is playing the poor abused wife card for all she can and her husband is not here to tell his side. After hearing what she said on the 999 call and to the police I will take a lot of convincing to say she should not be in prison for a long time.

I think she’ll get sent to prison - she seemed very in control when she rang the police, even saying ‘I might go back and stab him again’ - wouldn’t be surprised if she gets 20 years ( but out in something like 8 )
All depends on how good her legal team are.

Who killed her abusive husband. I have been following the trial And feel so sad for her. 20 years of abuse from this horrible man, who can blame her for finally snapping. Whilst murder is of course wrong under any circumstances I hope she does not go to jail. If there had been support for her things might have been different. They look so ordinary too, they could be anyone’s next door neighbour or family friend!
