Jurors heard closing arguments in the trial of a White woman accused of fatally shooting an unarmed Black mother during a dispute over children playing near her home. The defendant, Susan Lorincz, faces charges of manslaughter with a firearm and could receive up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
The prosecution argued that Lorincz intentionally fired the fatal shot through her front door, showing a reckless disregard for human life. The defense claimed that Lorincz feared for her safety and believed she had no choice but to shoot.
