Michelle lived with Tucker for 15 years, during which he had, on various occasions, subjected her to physical assaults, some of which inflicted severe injuries (such as extensive bruising to the body and a broken jaw). One night, Michelle returned home late from an evening meeting, and Tucker became furious with her. He yelled at her, “I am going to fix you once and for all.” However, Tucker was so drunk that he fell on the couch, struggled to get up, and eventually passed out. Michelle went to the kitchen and picked up a sharp knife. She then returned to the room where Tucker was sleeping and stabbed him to death.

What likely argument would the prosecutor put forward to make a successful defence difficult for Michelle? [200 words]
