Mother jailed for 21 years on manslaughter charge

NASSAU-A woman who killed a man after an argument was on Tuesday, February 11, sentenced to 21 years in prison.
Dormecia Burrows, 29, was charged with murder in the May 27, 2014 stabbing death of Franklyn Stubbs. She pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of manslaughter in the middle of her murder trial last year.
Burrows, a mother-of-two, told police that she believed that Stubbs was armed when he returned after their argument and she defended herself.
The judge sentenced Burrows to 25 years with credit for time served, which reduced the sentence to 21 years.
