Well maybe I've seen one to many episodes of the show COPS, but usually when a call is made regarding domestic violence and the woman is the victim, I don't see the cops asking the guy if he has a place to stay. He goes right to jail. I don't see why she wasn't taken to jail in this instance, unless the boyfriend didn't want to press charges. It's unfortunate for the guy since he is dead now. Maybe exercising better judgement prior, would have saved his life.
I wonder what kind of punishment she will get for murder. Briefly, in the city I live, a woman also stabbed her husband to death while he slept. During the court case the woman stated she was the victim of violence for 20 years even though there were no records from police, womens shelters etc,,.. to corraborate her story. Both his and her families were shocked at these revelations since everything appeared to be the contrary. The end result; the judge bought the story hook,line and sinker and sentenced her to 1 year house arrest and 5 years probation since he felt she was to fragile to be incarcerated. She certainly wasn't fragile when and how she cowardly took a life.
