None of ya'll read the article. Sounds like she plea-bargained down to manslaughter (which I personally think is bullshit), but the judge said absolutely nothing about feeling sorry for her. Here's what he actually said:
As he sentenced her to five years in jail, judge Mr Justice William Davies told Brown-Wellington: 'You were significantly affected by drink and drugs when you encountered Philip Carter.

'There was an exchange between you but that is as far as it should have gone.

'The city of Manchester is always populated by people with too much to drink but you reacted by pushing him in the direction of a tram. He fell back and fell between the two cars and was crushed to death in full view of a number of bystanders.

'I have read witness statements about how horrifying it was. A 16 year-old boy was deeply affected by it and his father rightly states that there was more than one victim in this case because the affect of what you did was so dreadful.

'There was nothing accidental about you losing your temper and pushing him forcefully and there was nothing accidental about the fact that you did it at a busy interchange where trams were coming and going. I don't suggest for a moment you intended what happened but your reaction was violent and it is yet another example of you reacting violently when you are faced with something you don't like very much.

'A report says you are someone who uses impulsive violence and until you get to grips with those issues you are a risk to the public. What you did was not unprovoked but it was unnecessary.

'The fact you did it in drink and drugs makes it worse but what makes it even worse is your very bad and long record. I accept that you are remorseful but the problem is that by your aggressive behaviour you have killed a man unnecessarily.'

Except the judge didn't believe her and there was video evidence to show that he didn't put his hands on her.

Don't reply, you've already embarrassed yourself enough.

The only people who should be embarrassed are those who let a woman with a history of violence get what amounts to a slap on the wrist for killing a man, just because she's a woman.

Or are you unaware of the significant sentencing differences between men and women in Western culture?

the specific issue in this case appears to be court willingness to offer her a plea bargain (which they probably would not offer to a man)

65 previous convictions, high on drugs and alcohol and you still are looking for an excuse to feel sympathetic towards the convict

And even if he raped her 1) vigilantism isn't okay 2) the article would've mentioned it

She has some 65 previous convictions and a 'propensity for impulsive violence"

Sounds like she should already have been a decades long prisoner before this. There are limits as to what can tolerated from a person before you simply stop letting them be a part of society and if she somehow hadn't already crossed that line she sure has how.

I say execute her. The drugs make this a worse crime not a more understandable one. You simply do not take recreational drugs + alcohol and go out in public especially if driving. It's like kicking over some gas canisters before pulling out a lighter to smoke or leaving your four year old home alone for a day,

Irresponsible and disregarding of the safety of others.
