Woman who shot boyfriend 4 times in the back and tried to claim self-defense sentenced
Story by Jamie Frevele • 21h

An Illinois woman who shot her boyfriend in the back during an argument has been sentenced to decades in prison.

Tnashia Wash, 20, was a teenager when she fired six shots at 30-year-old Roderick Richardson on Oct. 16, 2023. According to the Peoria County State's Attorney's Office, Wash admitted to police at the time that she shot Richardson, but claimed that it was in self-defense. She and her child had been staying at Richardson's home at the time, and the couple got into a fight about their relationship. Wash claimed that Richardson threatened to shoot her and her child, and she took his gun, firing six shots when he "charged" at her.
 
But an autopsy on Richardson determined that four of those shots hit him in the back.

According to prosecutors, the coroner determined that the four shots to the back that hit Richardson were not fired at close range. His gunshot wounds were inconsistent with Wash's claims of self-defense.

That's a clever lie, er, defense but I'm surprised a rocket scientist such as she didn't claim it was suicide.  A bad case of suicide to be sure, but still suicide! :tongue2:

Not sure I would totally discount the defense argument if in the heat of the moment he did attack her and she shot a few shots at his "charging" front and a few more from behind after he had a "change of heart" about attacking her from the front.

Not sure I also wouldn't put a few rounds for safe measure in a person attacking me and/or family. You want the threat gone for good.
