Buffalo woman to spend 8 years in prison for killing her boyfriend

Taylor Partlow, 26, was sentenced to eight years for manslaughter and five years post-release supervision.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo woman will spend the next eight years in prison for fatally stabbing her boyfriend. 

Taylor Partlow, 26, was sentenced to eight years for manslaughter and five years post-release supervision.

Investigators say Partlow stabbed Miguel Wyatt, 20, in the chest during an argument at a home on Block Street in Buffalo last September.  Wyatt later died of his injuries. 

The Erie County District Attorney's Office says the defense argued that the stabbing was in self-defense, a claim that the jury rejected.
