A white Florida woman who fatally shot a Black neighbor through her front door during an ongoing dispute over the neighbor’s boisterous children faces sentencing Monday for her manslaughter conviction.

Susan Lorincz, 60, was convicted in August of killing 35-year-old Ajike “A.J.” Owens by firing a single shot from her .380-caliber handgun in June 2023. Lorincz faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in state prison because a firearm was used.

The shooting was the culmination of a long-running argument between the two neighbors over Owens’ children playing in a grassy area at both of their houses in Ocala, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northwest of Orlando.

    I’m mostly surprised by the “faces consequences” part.

    ✅- White

    ✅- Conservative

    ❎- Rich

    ❎- Male

    Tough luck…

      Seems like manslaughter instead of 2nd degree murder is the consolation prize for being a white conservative.

      Your chart is wrong, for court leniency it should say woman and be checked.

        Judges absolutely go easier on women in most cases, but I’m not sure about this one.
