Lorell Neal of Glendale Heights, a suburb of Chicago, was sentenced to 40 years without parole, for the 1996 murder of his live in girlfriend, 25 year old Jennifer Mock. 1st degree murder carries a base sentence of 20 to 60 years in Illinois. It rises to 45 to 85 years if a gun is used to kill, and 60 to 100 years, life, or the death penalty under other aggravating circumstances.
[They], both of the 100 block of East Drummond Avenue were quarreling about his job in their kitchen on April 26, 2006, when he stabbed her in the chest with a knife. The couple's young daughter was in the home but was not injured, DuPage County Assistant State's Atty. Michael Pawl said.
One of Mock's friends, who left when the argument began, returned to see Mock sprwaled on the floor, and called 911. Neal fled the scene, and was caught driving in Downers Grove by police. There were no signs of mental illness, according to Assistant State's Attorney Steven Knight.

"There were no signs of mental illness." Yes, it quite, "normal" to plunge a knife into a loved one's chest in anger.
