Woman who stabbed husband to death after a meal loses appeal bid to challenge murder conviction
A woman who was jailed for stabbing her husband to death has lost a bid to bring a challenge against her conviction at the Court of Appeal.
They argued that the trial judge failed to properly direct the jury about "the individual and cumulative nature of matters which went to the gravity of the trigger for the purpose of the partial defence of loss of control". Jackson's lawyers also argued that the trial judge was wrong to release footage of her 999 call and arrest to the media during the trial as witnesses who were yet to give evidence may have seen it.During the trial, jurors were told that, in an 18-minute phone call to emergency services, Jackson told the call handler that her husband, a retired lieutenant colonel, was "bleeding to death with any luck" on their kitchen floor.
