Woman pleads guilty to pushing man onto subway track because of his religion

Story here. I wonder how much (if any) time she'll spend in prison? Excerpt:

'A man waiting for a train was pushed off the subway platform into the path of an arriving train on December 27, 2012. He died instantly.

Erika Menendez of Queens, was charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime. Menendez told authorities she "pushed a Muslim off the train tracks" because she'd hated Hindus and Muslims ever since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.

Menendez, 33, was allowed Friday to plead guilty to first-degree manslaughter, Brown said in a statement.

The judge indicated he would sentence her to 22 to 25 years in prison on April 29. Conviction on the original charge would have resulted in a tougher sentence -- 25 years to life imprisonment, Meris Campbell, spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, said Saturday.'
