The California woman who avoided prison after slaughtering her lover in his apartment while high on pot says she's going to appeal her light sentence.
A California woman who got out of jail scot-free after stabbing her boyfriend 108 times in a marijuana-induced psychosis is appealing her slap-on-the-wrist conviction, arguing that she was tricked into using the drug to begin with. Bryn Spejcher, 32, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter after she stabbed Chad O'Melia, 26, dozens of times before turning the knife on her dog and then herself. She received a sentence of two years on probation and 100 hours of community service.
Yes, I physically inhaled it,' she said. 'So, we're both accountable, but there's obviously been more attention to my part versus Chad's part.' Her lawyers have maintained that O'Melia introduced her to a hyper-potent strain of marijuana that she wasn't ready for, resulting in an adverse reaction that sent her into a deadly craze. They did not immediately respond to questions about the appeal Friday morning, before business hours on the West Coast.
