If i lose my temper with a woman she can kill me with her shoes and its justified?
What if it had been the other way around and he had took off his boot and caved her head in with it? Would he have walked?
The dead don't talk. I'm just not sure they'll be able to prove she was the aggressor or disprove the self defense claim.
Exactly.
If the "ifs" in my post were to be verified as facts as the investigation continues, I think Trujillo has a good chance of walking, even though the number of wounds is overkill, based only on what we know now. I don't think this one is gonna be cut and dry.
If they were both drunk, he was witnessed being abusive to her earlier in the evening, she had signs of having been assaulted by Alf that night, and the autopsy shows that ALF was alive (and therefore could have been fighting/struggling) throughout the attack, self-defense becomes a reasonable possibility.
Also, she called 911 to report that she was being assaulted by Alf. By the time police arrived, he was dead and she claimed self defense. Unless the autopsy reveals that he was likely dead before she placed the call, that 911 call works in her favor.
Still a long way to go on this one. If it's revealed that Trujillo has a history of being abusive or somehow benefits from Alf's death, that could change things a lot.
All just speculation at this point.
