Well, I'm surprised it didn't work, but there's a lot we don't know from just a headline and a title.
I'm very shocked she didn't attempt a Coercive Control ruling that would have likely worked in her favor. Maybe Julie Bindel was busy race baiting to trick right wingers into backing her, instead of being available to advise on how to con this case.
If a man did this, nobody would even question the sentence.
Read a story a while ago of a father who stumbled across a man that was abusing their daughter and beat them so badly that the abuser died of their injuries. However the father had stopped short of flat out landing a killing blow on the abuser, called 999/or whatever emergency services it was because I can't remember the country, and was later cleared because despite causing the abuser's death through beating him enough because the father had also shown restraint/empathy/cognizance in stopping and trying to prevent the abuser from dying.
Now whether the recording from the emergency call is sincere or not, "oh no nothing I am doing it helping" [while flailing in the air rather than providing aid], it does show cases as you mention exist. Where the violent behavior was understood/pardoned because of what was going on and that the resulting consequences of that behavior was deemed insufficient to charge as murder 1.
June 20, 2012— -- A Texas rancher who beat his daughter's accused molester to death moments after he discovered the man raping the 5-year-old girl, will not be charged with his homicide, officials said, as they released chilling 911 tapes of the father calling for help as the other man died.
A grand jury Tuesday decided not to indict the 24-year-old father who beat ranch hand Jesus Mora Flores to death with his bare hands, after finding the man abusing his daughter behind a barn.
The difference between these cases is premeditation - the woman convicted here "pieced together" some clues, while the man who wasn't charged discovered the man he killed in the act.
Not only was the woman in the story's killing premeditated, it was speculative.

Every year me and my boys repost the video of the father shooting the man who molested his kid on the way to court for Father's Day.
