A Healdsburg woman was convicted of first-degree murder Monday for killing her boyfriend, after jurors rejected her defense that she had been battered by the victim.
Sheyna Douprea, 25, stabbed 46-year-old Daniel Gerard Mooney numerous times in the neck Dec. 14, 2008, at his Mason Street apartment in Healdsburg. Investigators said she had been enraged that Mooney was too drunk to go to his employer's Christmas party with her.
Witnesses testified that Douprea had a history of violent, unpredictable behavior, including gouging people with her fingernails and assaulting her mother's boyfriend with a kitchen knife.
Douprea faces 26 years to life in prison when she is sentenced Sept. 20 in Sonoma County Superior Court.

A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
