Yes, she is guilty of the crime but the mitigation of years of abuse is taken into consideration and more lenient sentence is given.

He isn't looking at a full life term. He is looking at spending the rest of his life on parole which is standard for all murder convictions. If the beaten wife was convicted of murder, and not manslaughter, she too would be on life term parole.
