California woman who got high and stabbed boyfriend 108 times will not go to prison, judge rules

[LAmag] A California woman will serve zero jail time after stabbing her boyfriend 108 times and then slicing her neck as police tried to stop her, FOX 11 reports.

Bryn Spejcher, a 32-year-old from Thousand Oaks in Ventura County, went into a state of psychosis after smoking weed with her then-boyfriend, Chad O'Melia. The stabbing took place while she was in this state, overnight between May 27 and 28 in 2018 at O'Melia's apartment.

Almost six years ago, and it took this long to try and sentence her.

She was found guilty in December of involuntary manslaughter.

"Both took several hits from a bong loaded with marijuana," the Ventura County District Attorney's Office said in a statement. "Spejcher had an adverse reaction to the marijuana and suffered from what experts call ‘cannabis-induced psychotic disorder.’"

A mental health expert from the state then reportedly found that during the state of psychosis, she was effectively "unconscious" during the stabbing. She also stabbed her dog and sliced herself upon the police's arrival.

"Before law enforcement could disarm her, Spejcher plunged the knife into her own neck," prosecutors said in a statement following her conviction. "Officers used a taser and several baton blows before they were able to finally disarm Spejcher."
Shoulda let her finish the job.
O'Melia was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics who responded to the call.

In the end, a sentence was handed down for two years probation and 100 hours of community service.

#2 "Both took several hits from a bong loaded with marijuana,"

They did so voluntarily. Remember no one is responsible for the actions. Just like the looters rampaging the stores [now without an excuse like a police shooting]. The camel is in the tent.
