Self-defense... Naa

Prosecutors said Hubers, a UK  graduate, killed Poston out of anger after he tried to break up with her.  Hubers claimed she shot Poston in self-defense.

When she called 911 to report the shooting, she said the 29-year-old attorney from Highland Heights, Kentucky, was frequently violent and had been attacking her when she grabbed his gun. She shot Poston six times.

A juror who helped convict Shayna Hubers in the shooting death of her on-again, off-again boyfriend Ryan Carter Poston says “At no point did I buy the battered girlfriend defense.  .” “She took the key for the house to get back in. She was free to leave and did not. I did not see any evidence of physical abuse.”

 

The jury found Hubers, now 24, guilty of murdering Poston on Oct. 12, 2012. The jury also recommended she spend 40 years in prison.

“He was right in front of me and he reached down and grabbed the gun, and I grabbed it out of his hands and pulled the trigger,” Hubers is heard saying on the call.

 

At times, Hubers was even seen laughing in the police video, seemingly joking about the victim’s gunshot wounds. “I gave him a nose job,” she said.

It took jurors less than five hours to reach their verdict.

A judge has yet to make a final ruling on Hubers’ sentence. Hubers must serve at least 20 years in prison and will be eligible for parole after that time is served. A court date has been set for June 15.

Self-Defense with on and off relationships doesn't work. No-body Buys it.

Just a thought.
