Charging Lorincz with murder would require prosecutors to provide evidence of hatred, spite, ill will or evil intent toward the victim at the time of the killing.
The alleged shooter told detectives that she called the victim’s children racist slurs in the months leading up to the slaying, admitting that she used “the n-word.”
Fucking pathetic. She should spend the rest of her life behind bars.
at the time of the killing
See, she was a racist piece of shit who hated blacks up until the day of the shooting but since she wasn’t overtly racist while she murdered the children’s mother it’s okay, they let those things go in Florida. What they don’t let go is things like letting people of color knock on doors in order to have conversations between adults.
I’m not offering a moral answer, I’m just offering my commentary based on the people I have worked with who focus on “career progression”.
Yes the prosecutor could take this case, and maybe they will win with enough time, effort and money. Or they can take the easy route and find an open and shut case that they will win with minimal effort, get another success under their belt and tick the boxes that allow them to build their career.
I know, it’s a sick and fucking twisted system, this is the reason why this shit happens however.
aiming a firearm at the door, and pulling the trigger is legally insufficient to prove depraved mind.
That’s my favorite part. Yes, because totally rational, normal human beings who aren’t Danny DeVito just start blasting. Nothing to see here. What a clown show we’ve become.
Florida jury. Florida judge.
Manslaughter is likely the only charge they can effectively prove unless discovery turns up legally admissible evidence of premeditation that would be needed for murder charges. Being a crazy racist bitch in an of itself doesn’t necessarily equate to premeditation of murder, even if a fuck like the lady in this story seems to deserve such a charge.
For a good example of when manslaughter would be a more effective charge to pursue because its more likely to have actual punishment involved, look back at the George Zimmerman killing of Trayvon Martin case. Prosecutors fucked up by trying him for full on murder rather than a form of negligent manslaughter, which I continue to maintain that it was fully INTENTIONALLY done to throw the case by the States Attorneys office, maybe as a political strategy favor to Zimmerman’s father, a former judge. At the time I spoke with some attorneys in my family with criminal court experience, it appeared manslaughter rather than murder was far more easily demonstrable when evidence showed Zimmerman ignored the instruction of the 911 operator to not follow him:
Dispatcher: Which entrance is that that he’s heading towards? Zimmerman: The back entrance… Fucking punks. These assholes, they always get away… Dispatcher: Are you following him? Zimmerman: Yeah. Dispatcher: Okay, we don’t need you to do that. Zimmerman: Okay.
A guilty verdict on murder requires intent and premeditation, and situationally a scenario can many times mask both intent and premeditation but it can’t really mask demonstrable negligence that leads to a killing.
The only effective justice to be found in this case may be a manslaughter charge with the jail time and penalties it brings. A murder charge more than likely ends in a not guilty plea, since any reasonable doubt towards the intent and premeditation means a not guilty verdict.
Lorincz had been angry over Owens’ children playing in a field close to her apartment.
The alleged shooter told detectives that she called the victim’s children racist slurs in the months leading up to the slaying, admitting that she used “the n-word.”
State Attorney William Gladson said his office determined there was insufficient evidence to file a murder charge against Lorincz. Charging Lorincz with murder would require prosecutors to provide evidence of hatred, spite, ill will, or evil intent toward the victim at the time of the killing.
I just don’t get it
Florida you are a shit hole.
