Daisy Link, 30, is on trial for the death of her on-and-off partner, Pedro Jimenez, in Homestead in June 2022.

Link gained notoriety last year when, while incarcerated, she became pregnant.

On Wednesday, Link took the stand in her own defense. Her attorneys have argued that her relationship with Jimenez, the father of two of her children, was volatile.

They allege that she fired a gun during an argument out of fear for her life.

Prosecutors have argued that Link fired at Jimenez as he was running away.

She is facing a charge of second-degree murder.
