A Greenfield woman who said she never intended to fatally stab her husband pleaded guilty Friday to voluntary manslaughter, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Emma Beatriz Jaime will be sentenced June 8 by a Monterey County Superior Court judge, said Terry Spitz, chief assistant district attorney. She faces a prison sentence of up to six years.
Jaime was arrested for the New Year's Day stabbing of her husband, Ramon, in their Greenfield home in the 600 block of Vasquez Avenue.
During Jaime's preliminary hearing in January, a videotape of her being interviewed by a county District Attorney's Office investigator was played in court. In the video, Jaime described the final moments of her husband's life.
The incident
She told the investigator that the argument with her husband was initiated by his refusal to fix her a meal in the kitchen.
A heated physical and verbal altercation ensued, she said, resulting in her clutching a knife to her chest with its blade pointed toward her chin. Jaime said her 6-foot, 230-pound husband somehow walked into the knife.
