A 31-year-old woman in Mississippi will spend decades behind bars for killing her boyfriend, fatally shooting him when he came back to their home with McDonald’s for her and her children following an argument in which she warned he would be “dead” if he returned.

Circuit Court Judge Gray Tollison on Tuesday ordered Alexandria M. Griste to serve a sentence of 20 years in a state correctional facility for the slaying of Corey Lyles two years ago, The Oxford Eagle reported. Tollison handed down the sentence after a three-day trial, after which jurors deliberated for only three hours before convicting Griste on one count of imperfect self-defense manslaughter.
