## Resource

A jury found Margaret Green guilty of manslaughter—not murder—in the fatal stabbing of her partner, Selwyn Robson, during a heated argument in his sleepout. Though the defense claimed self-defense, prosecutors argued her actions were a reckless gamble that amounted to murder. Green’s traumatic past—including childhood abuse, teenage assaults, and a traumatic brain injury—shaped her hyper-reactive response to perceived threats. After the attack, she confided in her longtime friend Sharon Manaia, who urged her to turn herself in—something Green eventually did, appearing broken and remorseful. She now awaits sentencing in September, as the court weighs her mental state and history in determining her fate.
