A woman in California pleads guilty after admitting she fatally stabbed her firefighter wife last year, according to multiple reports. The New York Times and NBC News say the defendant was sentenced in 2004 to 11 years in prison for fatally stabbing her ex-husband, a killing that occurred more than two decades ago. This week, she enters a guilty plea in connection with the 2023 death of her wife, who worked as a firefighter. Both outlets describe the new case as involving a similar method—stabbing—several years after she served time for the prior homicide. The reports characterize her acknowledgment of the latest killing as a formal admission in court. Details including the circumstances of the most recent stabbing and the exact length of any new sentence are not provided in the excerpts. Overall, the coverage focuses on the woman’s admitted role in her wife’s death and the fact that she previously faced prison time for killing her ex-husband using a comparable attack.
