not sure if she's going for a manslaughter plea or trying to get off claiming self-defence, but either way this looks to me like a clear case of...
murder!!

To kill with a pair of scissors...either they are huge, or she stabbed several times.
Obviously when you fight, you use sharp tools and slash. Mental or homocidal issues somewhere.
