Susan Lorincz, the White woman who fatally shot Black neighbor Ajike AJ Owens through the door of her central Florida apartment during a dispute over children playing near her home, was sentenced Monday to 25 years in prison.
Owens family and prosecutors asked Lorincz receive the maximum penalty of 30 years.
Judge Robert Hodges, who called the crime a very aggravated manslaughter, said Lorinczs lack of a criminal record played a part in him not giving the maximum sentence. Still, he said, Lorincz was in no imminent danger.
In August, a jury found Lorincz guilty of manslaughter for shooting through the front door of her apartment on June 2, 2023, and killing Owens, a 35-year-old mother of four, who had been knocking on Lorinczs door.

She should have gotten 1st degree or 2nd. She knew she was going to kill that woman when she shot through the door at her. She baited her. At least she got tge maximum and in FL, you have to do at least 85% before parole is even considered.

(1,858 posts)Lorincz said "she wished she could go back and change things." How far back?
Why did she buy a firearm in the first place?
Thanks to hatred and stupidity, Lorincz will spend her golden years behind grey bars.

(7,064 posts)They were on their way and she knew it. That's why the judge said she wasn't in fear for her life and gave her the max. If I were on that jury, I'd have tried to give her at least 2nd degree. I think she knew she was going to kill that woman when she shot her through the door.
