Brisbane woman jailed for nine years over husband's fatal stabbing | Woman, who was a regular domestic abuser, stabbed her husband in the heart. Sentenced to 9 years, will probably be out in 4. This is the 50% of domestic violence that is rarely talked about: female perpetrators.

What I'd like to know, but isn't discussed in any of the media coverage of this trial that I've seen, is: Did the husband go to the police for help with his wife's violence and did they laugh at him for that?

We hear of that happening so often, I wonder how many times it ends in a tragedy like this?

In a victim impact statement read to the court by the prosecutor, the victim's father Anthony Castel said his son's killing had created "relentless stress" for the family.

"Her actions killed him — we suffered the loss of our vibrant, kind and caring son," Mr Castel said.

"But from Katie I hear no remorse, except for herself."

and

During sentencing, Justice Jean Dalton said Ms Castel wrote her husband's family a "peculiar" 12-page letter from custody, which expressed remorse in the first two pages.

"The letter [then] complains about your own circumstances in jail and the watchhouse," she said.

The judge said it led her to doubt the defendant understood the consequences of her actions.

Hmmm.

What an interesting way to say murder.

Reminder: according to Duluth she was the victim here. Women can only be violent in self defense. So if she stabbed him he was clearly abusing her and forced her to defend herself. So according to feminist doctrine this is a woman being falsely imprisoned for being the victim of an abusive man.

Feminism is for men too!

Reversed and he would get life. Down with the double standard

9 years? For murder? Jesus Christ, this isn't a justice system.

The Australian "justice" system if soft at the best of times and especially when it comes to women.

No big deal she will be out on four years and Hollywood will make a movie about the whole killing and she will be hailed as a hero and victim. Her dead husband will be blamed for it all.
