Description
The State brought appellant Sharron Scheikofsky to trial on the charge of second-degree murder of Lowell Scheikofsky, her husband. A jury convicted appellant of voluntary manslaughter, and the trial court sentenced her to ten to fifteen years in prison. Appellant appeals her conviction and sentence. She asserts that the trial court erred in the instructions it gave concerning her theory of the case ? self-defense ? and concerning the States burden of proof on the self-defense claim. She also asserts that the trial court abused its discretion by imposing an excessive sentence on her.
