MENOMONIE, Wis. (AP) – A Wisconsin woman who stabbed her ex-boyfriend 16 times has been found guilty of murder.
Twenty-two-year-old Ezra McCandless of Stanley was convicted Friday of first-degree intentional homicide. Prosecutors say McCandless killed 24-year-old Alex Woodworth in March 2018 in an attempt to rekindle a relationship with another man.
McCandless testified that she feared Woodworth was going to rape her and she stabbed him in self-defense.
She faces life in prison when sentenced.
