A woman who fatally stabbed her
boyfriend 25 times with the heel of her
stiletto shoe was sentenced to life in
prison on Friday for his murder.
Ana Trujillo was convicted of murder on
Tuesday for killing 59-year-old Alf Stefan
Andersson during an argument last June
at his Houston condominium.
Prosecutors said the couple had an
argument at his home after an evening
out together. During the dispute, Mr
Anderson fell on his back, prosecutors
said.
Trujillo then climbed on top of him and
struck him in the head repeatedly with
the five-and-a-half inch heel, fatally
wounding him.
"She hit him 25 times in the head. That is
a hard thing to overcome," prosecutor
John Jordan said.
But her defense lawyer Jack Carroll
argued that Trujillo, 45, was defending
herself from an attack by Mr Andersson,
who was a University of Houston
professor and researcher.
"Ms. Trujillo needs mercy right now," Mr
Caroll argued.

The court also heard Trujillo had not
sustained any injuries from the
confrontation, but Mr Andersson had
defensive wounds on his hands and
wrists.
 Trujillo took the witness stand on
Thursday, telling jurors that she was
forced to kill Mr Andersson to save her
own life during a more than hourlong
fight after being chased down, knocked
into a wall and thrown over a couch.
During about seven hours of rambling
testimony, she testified that she had no
idea she had hurt Andersson so badly
until she reached for him and realized
her hands were full of blood.
“I never meant to hurt him,” Trujillo said
before the judge made the jury's decision
final. “It was never my intent. I loved
him. I wanted to get away. I never wanted
to kill him.”
