Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A woman who killed her boyfriend after suffering years of violence was yesterday jailed for three years. Jayne Gray, 28, from the Bromford Estate, Birmingham, admitted the manslaughter of Alan Woolaston, 35, on the grounds of diminished responsibility. She stabbed him as he sat in a chair when they were both drunk, Birmingham Crown Court was told.
Mr Justice Dyson said he had the 'greatest of sympathy' for the dreadful life she had lived but she must bear some responsibility for the attack.
