The stabbing happened in September after a truck driver allegedly used the slur against former Germany player Patrick Owomoyela and threatened the woman. BERLIN (AP) " A woman in Germany has been convicted of attempted manslaughter for stabbing a man at Munich's Oktoberfest after he uttered a racial slur at a former soccer player with whom she was attending the beer festival. The Munich state court said the 34-year-old defendant " a Hamburg millionaire's fiance " also was convicted Wednesday of causing bodily harm. The court rejected the defendant's assertion that she acted in self-defense. She then stabbed him with a switch blade, causing life-threatening injuries.
