A Lexington woman has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for the October 2013 stabbing death of her boyfriend.
Before hearing the sentence, she had something to say to the judge.
“This is something that I did not want for Antonio or our children and I am deeply sorry,” says Melinda Morgan.
Prior to the incident, Morgan had no history of violence, and is considered a low risk when it comes to re-offending. But a judge says she needs a drug treatment program.

Nearly two years ago, she snapped during a fight with her boyfriend, Antonio Epps, and stabbed him in the chest at their Laredo Drive apartment. The night of the stabbing, their two young children were there, taken from the home after the fact by their grandmother.
A deal would also amend Morgan’s conviction from murder to manslaughter.
