A court in southern Argentina sentenced a man to five years in jail for killing his girlfriend while drunk by stabbing her 75 times and beating her with a dumbbell. With a unanimous verdict that was harshly criticized by the prosecuting attorney and the victim’s family, the judges ruled that drinking alcohol before the crime made Ramon Sosa, 32, behave negligently and without criminal intent.
