Gotta love how Karen’s come with the water works when they face consequences. The fuck are you crying for? You murdered a mother of 4 after terrorizing her and kids for years because you are a racist piece of shit. You now get to spend whatever few quality years you have left in prison, good riddance.
manslaughter??
no, that was intentional murder…It’s a much higher legal burden to get a murder convictions though. Proving things like intentional malice is very tricky, especially if the prosecutor knows they’re likely to face an all white jury in rural Florida.
1000 percent! 25 years is a slap on the wrist!
One black life worth 25 years is inflated in Trump’s America
well, it’s still life since she’s 60 years old….
but, if you shoot someone through your door for banging on the door and yelling, that’s definitely trying to kill them.
here before presidential pardon on Jan 21st
It’s not a federal crime.
we’re now at the point where the law doesn’t matter as they will just rewrite it to do whatever they want, get outta here with those legally true technicalities
I think you overestimate how much Trump cares about a person like this, if nothing else.
Prosecutors said Owens had come to Lorincz’s home after her children complained that she had thrown roller skates and an umbrella at them, which Lorincz denied. Trial testimony showed Owens, a mother of four young children, was pounding on Lorincz’s door and yelling,
There’s a reason why Owens is knocking on your door, god damn it…
Circuit Judge Robert Hodges opted for a slightly lesser term amid evidence that Lorincz had been abused as a child and had mental health problems.
Shut up… it’s always that
chart, when it comes to euro-americans, individual ‘mental illness’ or when it comes to black and latin people, ‘ghetto’ behaviorfeared for my life
She’s hitting every bingo, ain’t she? In the west, nothing newGood! With good behavior, unlikely, she might even be out before she’s 80.
The shooting was the culmination of a long-running argument between the two neighbors over Owens’ children playing in a grassy area near both of their houses in Ocala, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northwest of Orlando.
Literally a case of “get off my lawn”.
near both of their houses
Seemingly not even her lawn. Suburbia is a cancer.
hope she dies in there
What a crazy unbelievable story! An all-white jury and a white judge found her guilty and sentenced her? In Florida?? That’s absolutely wild!
The cops were still extremely racist, of course, but that was completely expected
