A Utah woman was sentenced to five years of probation Friday after killing her estranged husband. A plea deal recognized that she incorrectly thought she was acting in self-defense.
SALT LAKE CITY — A South Jordan woman who pleaded guilty to shooting and killing her estranged husband while another man hid in a nearby dumpster was sentenced Friday to five years of probation.
Fisher pleaded guilty to the two charges as part of a plea deal that recognized that she thought she was acting in self-defense at the time, although her actions were not legally justified.as he was running away from the mattress business where they had lived at 583 W. Billinis Road in South Salt Lake. Police say she fired through the front glass door of the business at the estranged husband, who was outside the business. Police found another man hiding in a nearby dumpster.
Fisher said she remained silent through most of the court process because she did not want to be vulnerable or complicate the case, but Friday she said she wanted to express sorrow and remorse. Defense attorney Cara Tangaro said if the case had gone to trial, the judge would have heard more of a back story about the marriage, and seen evidence from others that her. She said Fisher understands she created and contributed to the chaos that ultimately led to her husband's death, including being at the warehouse with her boyfriend at the time. However, Tangaro said her client did feel threatened that night.
