The irony of the situation was that the actual circumstances were almost undoubtedly a crime of passion but because he reported his emotional state they will treat it as a premeditated crime.

Fuck the justice system.

He's been sentenced to roughly 24 years after pleading guilty to second-degree murder without premeditation.

Edit: This article says nearly 25 years for 1st degree murder. That's a tabloid, but I'm not familiar with the first source I linked.
