FOXNews.com - Top Stories - Ex-Topless Dancer Convicted of Murder for Stabbing Husband 193 Times

She was trying "self defense". Once, twice.. maybe even 10 times could seem like self-defense. But, 193??!!!

Anyways.. there are psychos all over, but the article says this:

The penalty phase of her trial was to begin Wednesday afternoon, and she faces anywhere from probation to 99 years in prison.

Probation?? How in the world could murder bring probation?

They also allege she seductively tied his ankles and wrists to their bed before stabbing him, buried his body in a shallow hole he had dug to install a fountain in the back yard of their northwest Harris County home, and cleaned house to cover up the crime.

Still not seeing how probation could even be an option here.

While she testified she rarely told anyone about the abuse, she filed her first and only domestic abuse report to police the day after she killed him, requesting a restraining order that was granted Jan. 17.

Talk about cart before horse! Kill the person, THEN make a complaint that they abused you.

I hope she gets 193 years, but really do wonder why she could get probation for this. Seems like a 20-to-life, if not capital punishment case.
