I would have held out for involuntary manslaughter.

If I were a juror, I would have voted for Murder 2. I think there was a conscious intent to kill, and I think her motive was resentment for being treating like a whore.

But if I had been the defense lawyer, I would have gone for a plea deal for manslaughter. Instead of having the opportunity to serve as little as one third of five to fifteen years, she's "stuck" having to serve all of twenty-two years.
