A Florida woman faces a lengthy prison sentence following her conviction for manslaughter in connection with the death of her former boyfriend, whom she accused of abuse.

Jasmoray Baugh, aged 31, received a 20-year prison sentence on Wednesday after being found guilty last month for the death of Korey Woulard, as stated in court documents.

The jury opted for the lesser charge of manslaughter instead of second-degree murder after a trial that lasted a week, according to an announcement from the 7th Judicial District State Attorney’s Office.

As previously covered by Law&Crime, the incident occurred around 2 a.m. on December 11, 2022, in DeLand, a city located approximately 40 miles north of Orlando. According to a probable cause affidavit, Baugh shot Woulard after he vandalized her vehicle, an act he reportedly had committed before. Following the incident, she sent him a menacing text message.

“I told the police you robbed me and shot at me,” the message read, as cited by prosecutors. “B—, you going under the ground.”

After he ripped off her two side-view mirrors, Woulard walked away from her home. She hopped in her car and drove after him. She fired a single shot at his chest, killing him.

Baugh testified on her own behalf at trial, claiming that she killed him in self-defense, according to a courtroom report from the Daytona Beach News-Journal. She said she was driving by him when he threw a bicycle at her windshield, causing her to crash into a pole. She told the jury Woulard ran up to the car with a gun, which set off a fight for survival.

“We … tussling, it’s like a tug-of-war,” she reportedly testified. “I’m fighting him not to shoot me. And that’s when the gun go off.”

She said she then threw the gun into some nearby bushes.

But the state rejected that claim, saying she hunted her former boyfriend down because she was mad he vandalized her car again.

“The law doesn’t give anyone the right to be the judge, jury and executioner,” assistant state attorney Nick Kramperth said, per the News-Journal.

Jurors deliberated about six hours before deciding the verdict.

“The defendant killed the victim for vandalizing her car,” State Attorney R.J. Larizza said. “A sad testament to the human condition.”
