Lorincz faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in state prison because a firearm was used.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting was the culmination of a long-running argument between the two neighbors over Owens\u2019 children playing in a grassy area at both of their houses in Ocala, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northwest of Orlando. <\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors said Owens had come to Lorincz\u2019s 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\u2019s door and yelling, leading Lorincz to claim self-defense in shooting her neighbor.<\/p>\n<p>Lorincz told detectives in a videotaped interview that <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/white-woman-shoots-black-neighbor-florida-trial-0b246e558261435187c03b229ee8d3ae\">she feared for her life<\/a><\/span>.

Sizemore said in court documents that there are several reasons to justify a downward departure, including a mental disorder and claims that Owens was the aggressor and under \u201cextreme durses\u201d during the confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>There were protests in the Black community in Ocala when prosecutors took weeks to <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/nation\/white-woman-who-fatally-shot-black-neighbor-arrested-on-manslaughter-charges-in-florida\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">charge Lorincz with manslaughter<\/a><\/span>, a lesser count than second-degree murder, which carries a potential life prison sentence.
