MacKenzie Testifies In Her Own Defense At Murder Trial

29 year old Crystal Dawn MacKenzie, who's charged with second degree murder in the 2010 stabbing death of her common law partner admits she was plastered drunk and wasn't thinking clearly. 

The case goes to the jury tomorrow.
 

She also testified not being herself on the police video with half the stuff she said didn't make sense. 

MacKenzie telling the court she doesn't remember stabbing 29 year old Patrick Thomas to death on Alma Street and doesn't recall grabbing a butcher's knife and saying "I'm going to kill him, I'm done". 

She claims only to recall being choked and having her head banged but prosecutor John Heneffer maintains she was choked after approaching Thomas while armed with a knife.
 

Both she and Thomas were pretty drunk and MacKenzie admits she wasn't thinking clearly.
