A Tragic Dispute: The Case of Susan Louise Lorincz and Ajike Owens



In a quiet neighborhood in Ocala, Florida, a dispute between neighbors escalated into a tragic incident that shocked the community and ignited a nationwide debate. The death of Ajike Owens, a mother of four, at the hands of Susan Louise Lorincz has sparked outrage and calls for justice. The case took a surprising turn when the state attorney announced that Lorincz would not face murder charges but instead be charged with manslaughter and assault. In this blog post, we will delve into the details of this disturbing case and explore the implications it has for society.

The Tragic Incident:

The confrontation between Susan Louise Lorincz and Ajike Owens occurred on June 2, following an ongoing dispute centered around Lorincz's children. The disagreement reached a boiling point when Lorincz allegedly became angry at Owens's children, leading to a heated exchange. Witnesses reported that Lorincz used racial slurs during her tirade against the children. In a disturbing turn of events, Owens decided to confront Lorincz, knocking on her door and demanding a confrontation.



A Fatal Shot:

As tensions escalated, Lorincz fired a shot through her front door, striking Owens in the upper chest. The tragic outcome led to Owens's untimely death, leaving behind a grieving family and a community in shock. The Marion County Sheriff's Office, responsible for investigating the incident, determined that Lorincz's actions were not legally justifiable.

The Charges and Public Reaction:

The announcement that Lorincz would face charges of manslaughter with a firearm and assault, rather than murder, sent shockwaves through the community. The Owens family, seeking justice for their loss, expressed disappointment at the decision. They believed that the evidence pointed to a more severe charge of second-degree murder, which would carry a life sentence if convicted.

Legal Interpretations and Public Sentiment:

State Attorney Bill Gladson, responsible for the decision, stated that public sentiment, angry phone calls, or threats of violence would not influence the case's outcome. To prove second-degree murder, the prosecution must establish a "depraved mind" and evidence of hatred, spite, ill will, or evil intent towards the victim. Gladson concluded that the evidence did not meet the criteria for murder charges.

Controversy and Nationwide Debate:

The tragic case of Susan Louise Lorincz and Ajike Owens highlights a broader issue that has plagued the nation for years – the legal protections surrounding self-defense and the use of deadly force. Florida's "stand your ground" law, which gained notoriety in the Trayvon Martin case, has once again come under scrutiny. The law requires investigators to rule out whether deadly force was justified before making an arrest, often creating contentious debates around cases involving innocent mistakes or misunderstandings.

The case of Susan Louise Lorincz and Ajike Owens represents a tragic and deeply divisive incident that has sent shockwaves throughout the nation. The decision to charge Lorincz with manslaughter and assault, rather than murder, has stirred public outrage and intensified the ongoing debate surrounding self-defense laws. As the case progresses, it will undoubtedly continue to fuel discussions about justice, racial tensions, and the need for legal reforms to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Darlie Routier Texas

I was contacted by a penpal of Darlie Routier's who gave me some of the most recent advances in her case to share with you all. I began writing to Darlie in December of 2005 and she is one woman whom I will never understand how she got behind bars. Really. You know what else? With all the information ALREADY out there about this case, in addition to the newly discovered info, I think if you can't see this poor woman's innocence, you may just be an asshole. So many legal flubs, so much question and police innuendo that turned out to be nothing. So many fingers pointed and road blocks thrown up, I am surprised this case isn't used in other countries to point to the clusterfuck we call a justice system.  I believe Darlie could have been released ages ago if the state had done the necessary DNA testing. Sadly, Texas has tried to stop it in every unconstitutional way they could pull out of a bull's ass. BUT- there is hope on the horizon. This from Camp Darlie ...

Heather Birden Connecticut

Holly Aeschlimann Holly Aeschlimann, 19 was murdered in Connecticut in April of 2015. This case is amazingly close to that of Rachel Wade. Holly and her killer, Heather Birden, 20, had a longstanding dislike for each other. Heather had stabbed another girl, a juvenile, once before in 2014. She was  held in Niantic Correctional Facility for next three months before the murder as a result of a violation of her probation, and was then released to an in-patient substance abuse rehabilitation facility. Reports state that Birden asked her boyfriend for his knife and then left his house to find Holly stating "I have to end this tonight." Witnesses say Heather arrived and the two began to fight, ending in Holly being stabbed in the head and neck at a crosswalk outside an apartment complex in Torrington, CT.  Her friends rushed her to the hospital where she died.  Heather was hiding under a vehicle a short distance away and feigned confusion when police found her. She spen...

Brenda Andrew Execution date

     Brenda Andrew is the only woman on Oklahoma death row. She is there for the murder of her husband by her and her boyfriend James Pavatt.      Brenda does not answer letters. It seems she may still have a bit of that pretentious attitude left over from her days as a respected deacons wife. Those days are over, hun.      There is no scheduled execution date for Brenda yet. Oklahoma lists its dates of execution for the prison she is in here .      Every time I read about this case I am utterly amazed at how stupid these two people were. She may as well have advertised their guilt on a billboard in front of the house. Both Andrew's and Pavatt's appeal were systematically denied without comment in 2008. The little Scorned episode "The Sunday School Killers" at the top of this post is about Brenda and James and its only $1.99 so its worth the money.
