“Well, it’s finally official … murder is legal in the state of California.”

A California woman who fatally stabbed her boyfriend more than 100 times during what prosecutors called a "cannabis-induced" psychosis has been spared prison time, a judge ruled on Tuesday. The decision drew sobs of relief from the woman and a rebuke from the victim's father.

Bryn Spejcher, 32, was sentenced Tuesday to two years of probation, according to Ventura County Superior Court records. Last month, Spejcher was convicted in the 2018 fatal stabbing of Chad O'Melia, a man whom she had been dating for several weeks.

Testimony showed she stabbed O'Melia more than 100 times and also stabbed herself, the Ventura County Star reported.

After the sentence was handed down by Ventura County Superior Court Judge David Worley on Tuesday, Spejcher and her family cried tears of relief, the Ventura County Star reported, while the victim's father said the sentencing set a dangerous precedent.

"He just gave everyone in the state of California who smokes marijuana a license to kill someone," Sean O'Melia said, according to the outlet.

Well, 100 times? That is certainly thorough.

That's some good lawyering - no jail, 2 years probation.

Guilty, based on this pic alone.

Abortion has been legal for decades.

There is just no f-ing way a man doesn't go to prison for a couple of decades if the sexes were reversed.

Not legal. She was convicted of a crime and did get a punishment. I don't understand the punishment or why it has taken so long to get to the sentencing. I can't fathom how she gets no prison time, even if it was proven that the marijuana caused the psychosis. Unfortunately it isn't the first head scratcher sentencing and it likely won't be the last.
