Woman gets only 15 years (with parole) for stabbing boyfriend to death

How can a woman who stabs her boyfriend to death...AND....has stabbed him on two previous occasions get charged with only 2nd degree murder? You got it...she says that he approached her in a "threatening" manner. A man would have gotten LWOP'd for doing the same thing to his girlfriend. By the way, in Nebraska she can get patrolled after serving only half of the lower term (3.75 years). Excerpt:

'Trial testimony indicated the pair had argued over Porter's desire to attend a party, a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office said. Grant admitted stabbing Porter, saying he was approaching her in a menacing manner.

Evidence showed that the couple had a "turbulent relationship" and that Grant had stabbed Porter on two previous occasions and had threatened to stab him three other times, the statement said.'

Now, the obvious question is -- How many times does your girlfriend have to stab you before you flee the relationship and have nothing to do with her ever again?

This dude gets the "dumbest person in the world" award in my view.

Maybe they had really good make-up sex after the stabbings, which were a kind of perverse foreplay?
