'You die or you save your own life'
A woman who was cleared at a retrial of murdering her friend's boyfriend has told the Victoria Derbyshire programme that she was let down by the justice system.
Stacey Hyde, now aged 23, from Somerset, was cleared in May of the murder of Vincent Francis when she was just 17.
She was originally convicted in 2010 of killing the 34-year-old by stabbing him 17 times at the flat he shared with her friend, Holly Banwell.
Miss Hyde said she feared for her life and stabbed Mr Francis in self defence after he repeatedly attacked her and her friend.
