Mexican woman sentenced to 6 years for killing her rapist.

A Mexican woman, Roxana Ruiz, who killed a man while he was raping her has been sentenced to six years in prison for her act of self-defense. The court found that Ruiz had been raped, but was guilty of homicide by "excessive use of legitimate defense." In addition to the six-year sentence, she was ordered to pay $16,000 to the man's family. Ruiz promised to appeal the verdict with the support of multiple women's rights groups in the country.
