Florida Woman Sentenced to 25 Years for Fatal Doorstep Shooting
TL;DR
Susan Louise Lorincz, a 60-year-old white woman from Florida, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for fatally shooting her Black neighbor, Ajike "AJ" Owens, through a locked door. The incident, which occurred after a dispute with Owens' children, was deemed "completely unnecessary" by the judge. Lorincz, who had a history of racial harassment, claimed she acted under duress due to PTSD. The case drew attention to Florida's "stand your ground" law, which was not deemed applicable in this situation.
