Her appeal includes Appellant killed her daughter Tashira’s boyfriend with a hammer.  Tashira and the deceased often quarreled, at times violently.  During their last argument, Tashira called Appellant,  who  then drove  to Tashira’s apartment.   A  neighbor saw Appellant climb out of  her  van and  walk  to  the  apartment holding  a yellow handled hammer.

The deceased was gathering  his  belongings in  the  bedroom when  the Appellant  came  through  the  unlocked  apartment  door.    She  and  the  deceased started  arguing  and  continued  to  do  so  after Tashira closed  the  bedroom  door between them.  When the door reopened the deceased approached Appellant.It is unclear from the record whethe rhe intended to attack Appellant or to escape past her out the front door.Before he could do either, Appellant threw a cupof bleach-water into his face.    He fell  facedown to  the  floor,and Appellantstruck him in the back of the head with the hammer.
