I stabbed him just to frighten him a little, honesty. What?! Stabbing someone can lead to their death? No way. Uts unreasonable to expect a reasonable adult to know this.

Again, what is it with all these people carrying knives. Doesn't is seem just a little suspicious after a night out, we presume, and on the way home, she has a knife, pulls it out and stabs him. Sounds rather premeditated to me.

Of course she would say not to INTEND to kill him. This way she hopes to reduce the punishment. But having a knife is already strange. But seems normal nowadays.
I don't know what the content of the fight is but if the knife was used outside and found inside the house she intend to hide it and or she left him with a stab wound. It is a strange non consistence news article.

Let's see...going out for a few drinks on Christmas Eve. Got my makeup, keys, purse, breath mints. Oh, almost forgot my trusty kitchen knife, just in case I need to cut some lettuce on the way.

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
You gave it right back
And stabbed me in the back

Mochake, I think she was going to make some Mexican tacos and needed a bit of meat to go with the lettuce. You crack me up!
