This is an old story but stuff like goes on all the time. This chick shot her husband in the back with a shot gun and killed him. In the end she received no punishment for this crime of murder. She was in a crappy marriage and chooses murder as a way to end it.
Most people leave bad relationships without resorting to murder.
If a guy did this he would surly get life or a death sentence.

It the west women are not held to the same legal standards as men, they can commit a wide variety of crimes with minimal consequences.
