Trial testimony showed Owens, a mother of four young children, was pounding on Lorincz&#8217;s door and yelling, leading Lorincz to claim self-defense in shooting her neighbor.<\/p>\n<p>Lorincz told detectives in a videotaped interview that she feared for her life. She also said she had been harassed for most of the three years she lived in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought I was in imminent danger,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Jurors did not agree with her self-defense claim.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-482ou5-2 eOHevC image align-none\">\n<figure class=\"sc-1cbdeug-0 cpcmmN\">\n<div data-gallery-length=\"2\" class=\"sc-482ou5-0 jyAxLX\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/07\/11\/17\/Susan%20Lorincz%20arrest%20left%20Ajike%20Owens%20insert.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/07\/11\/17\/Susan%20Lorincz%20arrest%20left%20Ajike%20Owens%20insert.jpg?quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;auto=webp 320w, https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/07\/11\/17\/Susan%20Lorincz%20arrest%20left%20Ajike%20Owens%20insert.jpg?quality=75&amp;width=640&amp;auto=webp 640w\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" class=\"sc-1mc30lb-0 iSVhwZ inline-gallery-btn\"\/><\/p>\n<p><button class=\"sc-ohzviw-0 gdZNrl inline-gallery-btn\" id=\"trigger-autogallery-9364\"><span class=\"sc-ohzviw-1 ewSUe\">open image in gallery<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"sc-1cbdeug-1 sc-1cbdeug-3 hiCdLa liXvvg\"><span class=\"sc-1cbdeug-7 izyooE\">(<!-- -->Marion County Sheriff\u2019s Office\/Anthony D Thomas handout<!-- -->)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Owens&#8217; family pushed for the maximum prison sentence after Lorincz was convicted by an all-white jury.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the pain of losing Ajike, we are hopeful that justice will prevail and that the court will give Susan Lorincz the maximum penalty for her actions,&#8221; said Owens&#8217; mother, Pamela Dias, in an email statement before Monday&#8217;s sentencing. &#8220;Ajike&#8217;s legacy will live on through her children, and we will continue to fight for justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lorincz&#8217;s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Amanda Sizemore, sought a more lenient sentence, an unspecified term below the 11.5 years in prison that is the lowest for her crime under state guidelines. 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 &#8220;extreme duress&#8221; during the confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>There were protests in the Black community in Ocala when prosecutors took weeks to charge Lorincz with manslaughter, a lesser count than second-degree murder, which carries a potential life prison sentence. Marion County, which includes Ocala, has a Black population of about 12%, according to census figures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/crime\/susan-lorincz-sentence-aj-owens-b2653539.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest headlines from our reporters across the US sent straight to your inbox each weekday Your briefing on the latest headlines from across the US Your briefing on the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=130350\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-130350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=130350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130350\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=130350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=130350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=130350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
