A woman who shot and killed four men to protect her brother has just been sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison.
She claimed the men were threatening her younger brother and said she had no choice but to pull the trigger. But prosecutors argued the killings went way beyond self-defense, pointing out that at least two of the victims were unarmed and trying to get away when she fired.
The jury found her guilty of four counts of murder.
When the life sentence was handed down, she was furious — shouting in court that she never thought protecting her brother would cost her everything.
The case has split opinion online, with some calling her a hero who stood up for her family, and others saying four lives lost can never be justified.
