HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Texas jury swiftly convicted a Houston woman on Tuesday of beating her boyfriend to death with a 5-1/2-inch spike-heeled stiletto shoe during an argument after an alcohol-fueled night out last year.
Ana Trujillo, 45, had said she was acting in self-defense when she picked up her shoe and stabbed University of Houston professor Stefan Andersson in a drunken altercation at his upscale Houston condominium on June 9 last year.
Andersson, 59, was stabbed about two dozen times in the face and head with the shoe and prosecutors said Trujillo had a history of unprovoked violence.
Jurors took less than two hours to return a conviction in the high-profile case.
Trujillo, who wore a sundress with a cream-colored sweater, appeared to tremble slightly and too deep breaths while the verdict was being read, but her facial expression remained unchanged.
She faces up to life in prison on the murder conviction as the case moves into the penalty phase on Wednesday.

Yep, that's crazy.

Should have gone with weed. Alcohol not only fucks up your driving, it drives you to fucking up.
