The accused pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the stabbing death of her intimate partner.
The Crown and defence jointly submitted to a sentence of six years imprisonment.
The court accepted the joint submission, finding it appropriate given the circumstances.
The offence occurred in a domestic context, which was significantly aggravating.
However, the accused's lack of criminal record, genuine remorse, substantial rehabilitation efforts including four years of sobriety, and strong family support were mitigating factors.
The court imposed a six-year sentence with credit for time served on a 1.5:1 basis, resulting in approximately five years and one month remaining to be served.
