Wife Stabs Husband After He Brings Her Bouquets Friday June 25 4:12 PM ET dailynews.yahoo.com PETALUMA, Calif. (Reuters) - He said it with flowers. She answered with a knife in the back. Jenny Yoell of Petaluma, Calif., has been sentenced to six months in jail for stabbing her husband with a 13-inch (32 cm) knife after he brought home two bunches of flowers for her, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported Friday. ''She didn't think he should have spent that kind of money on flowers,'' prosecutor Robert LaForge told the newspaper. The 33-year-old husband, whose name has not been released, drove himself to a nearby hospital where he was given four stitches and then released, the newspaper said. Yoell, 28, was initially charged with assault with a deadly weapon and spousal abuse, but these charges were dropped when she agreed to plead no contest to felony battery with serious bodily injury. Investigators said the violence erupted as the pair argued over the price of the bouquets. As the husband threw the flowers to the floor, they struck Yoell, who retaliated by grabbing the knife. ''I made a huge mistake. I was crazy,'' she told police in this town 30 miles (48 km) north of San Francisco when they came to arrest her. Defense attorney Janet Langton said the stabbing came after a period of rising tensions in the marriage, and that ''there was some provocation on the part of the victim.'' Along with her jail time, Yoell was sentenced Thursday to enroll in a 52-week domestic violence program. Both she and her husband hope to stay together, Langton said. ''They want to work on their marriage,'' she said. ''Both are going to anger awareness classes.''
