Merrick woman found guilty of strangling husband

Story here. Excerpt:
"Kelly Forbes collapsed and let out a guttural wail as the jury foreman read the verdict yesterday in Nassau County Court: guilty of manslaughter in the first degree.
Jurors deliberated for just two hours before reaching their verdict, rejecting Forbes' claims that she was defending herself when she strangled her new husband, Michael, with an electrical cord last November.
In a courtroom divided between the bride's family on one side and the groom's family on the other, a jolting shout of "Yes" came from one of Michael Forbes' supporters. As court officers quieted the man, Kelly Forbes' parents sat stone-faced, then bolted from the courthouse immediately after the verdict.
Forbes, 29, faces a maximum 25 years in prison when Judge Jerald Carter sentences her July 18."

Mary Winkler Redux ?
"Bloody" Mary Winkler was convicted of manslaughter also and got sentenced to time served, probation and mandatory psychological counseling; in other words she got away with it.
They Call This Justice?
How is murdering someone manslaughter? If you intended to cause harm to a person and end up killing them, that's murder.
