Re: Wife convicted after husband fatally shoots lover

Not quite sure I understand.  Picture the following scenario:
 
You come home and see your wife getting "raped" in a pickup truck.
 
You shoot the "rapist" to save your wife. 
 
And then you go to prison?

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- A Texas woman who caused her lover's shooting
death by falsely crying rape was convicted Friday of involuntary
manslaughter.

Tracy Denise Roberson, 37, cried a bit when the verdict was announced.
The punishment phase was set for Monday, and she faces two to 20 years
in prison.

In late 2006, Darrell Roberson came home from a late-night card game to
find his scantily clad wife with another man in a pickup truck in the
driveway. Tracy Roberson was with her lover but cried rape, and her
husband fired four shots into the truck as Devin LaSalle drove off,
killing him.

Darrell Roberson initially was arrested, but a murder charge was later
dropped and a grand jury indicted Tracy Roberson instead.

During her three-day trial, defense attorneys called no witnesses but
blamed LaSalle's death on Darrell Roberson's jealousy and rage.

But prosecutors placed all the blame on Tracy Roberson, showing evidence
of the affair with LaSalle, 32, and a text message in which she invited
him to her house that evening
