I suspect you're not being serious, but if you are:
Ben will vouch for her, for one thing. Martin viciously assaulted him. That will help the credibility of the situation a LOT.
And Ben (who knows the background anyway) saw Martin break into Laura's house & threaten her.
Martin's been keeping Laura a virtual prisoner for their whole marriage. He is an abusive brute, and Laura never felt she could stand up to him till the end.
Even then, she never wanted to kill him.
But once the shmuck Martin tells her that if she refuses to return with him, she's dead....she finds the courage to stand up to him at last.
Lastly, the ending as we see it is more cinematically thrilling than Martin just going to prison.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

I was serious.
I don't think Ben's testimony will be credible.
She shot and killed a defenseless man in cold blood. He didn't have a weapon. It's Ben's word against physical evidence and I don't think that will hold up.
Damn, I'm good.

He didn't have a weapon??
Where do you think the gun came from?
It will have Martin's prints on it, and is probably even a registered gun.
