What do you think of the Marcela Castaneda verdict?

Marcela Castaneda, the 33-year-old woman who stabbed and killed her abusive fiance after he physically assaulted, was been found not guilty of manslaughter in a NSW court last week. Ms Castaneda was choked and chased by her abusive (then) fiance Gregory Peck before she grabbed a knife and stabbed him as he lunged at her. She called 000 and when paramedics arrived she was holding a towel to his chest. What do you think of the verdict?

sorry, don't know Marcela but think you should get rid of maryr castro25

I think the verdict must be fair in that the jury was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Marcela Castaneda's actions were reasonable in the circumstances.

Abbsolutly 

Apparently the police deal with an estimated 657 domestic violence matters on average every day of the year which makes it one every two minutes.

And that's just the blokes and old people...
