The Oklahoma Department of Corrections is being sued for not doing enough to prevent, Amber Hilberling (pictured), 25, who was convicted of murdering her husband, from hanging herself in her cell in 2016
The Oklahoma Department of Corrections is being sued for not doing enough to prevent a murder convict from hanging herself in her cell in 2016.
Amber Hilberling's estate filed the lawsuit in Oklahoma County District Court in July.
It says the department didn't take 'any reasonable steps to prevent or address the conditions' that led to Hilberling's suicide at the Mabel Bassett Correctional Center in McLoud.
Hilberling said she was acting in self-defense when she shoved her US Air Force veteran husband, Josh, through a window in their Tulsa apartment in 2011.
She was sentenced to 25 years.
The lawsuit alleges inadequate supervision, medical care and segregation procedures. The estate is seeking more than $75,000.
A corrections spokesman said the agency doesn't comment on pending litigation.
Last January, Hilberling, 25, was featured in an episode of the documentary Women Who Kill, which reveals the shocking stories of female prisoners who were driven to murder.
Hilberling had always maintained that she was acting in self defense when she pushed her husband out of their apartment window following a violent altercation.

Hilberling described the moments leading up to Josh's death, and how the pair argued and he attacked her, before she retaliated by pushing him.
The documentary included chilling original CCTV footage of her admitting to her grandmother that she had pushed her husband out of the window.
In what would turn out to be her last televised words, Hilberling said that while her marriage was fiery, she believes that they could have had a happy ending.
'I've never tried to make it sound like he is the big bad wolf and I'm little Red Riding Hood that is running for her life, it wasn't like that,' she said.
'We were both young and we were both selfish in our emotions because we were young, and I think if it had happened later on in life when we were both a little bit more grown up, I think it would have been happily ever after.'
Amber's mother Rhonda was also featured in the documentary and says the media painted her daughter 'as an aggressor', while Josh's military record - and the fact he was kicked out for manufacturing drugs - was ignored.
Amber, who married Josh when she was 18, was seven months pregnant when she was sentenced and her mother Rhonda now cares for her son Levi, six.
Levi also appeared in the documentary and would regularly visit Hilberling along with her mother, before she killed herself in her cell at the Mabel Bassett Correctional Center, in Oklahoma in October 2016.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
