Woman who killed her rapist sentenced to 6 years in prison.

TL;DR Summary
A Mexican woman, Roxana Ruiz, who killed a man defending herself when he attacked and raped her in 2021 was sentenced to more than six years in prison, a decision her legal defense called "discriminatory" and vowed to appeal. The ruling has sparked anger from experts and feminist groups who said it speaks to the depth of gender-based violence and Mexico's poor record of bringing perpetrators of sexual violence to justice. Despite telling police she had been raped, a forensic exam was never taken, a crucial step in prosecuting sexual violence cases.
