A Florida woman is facing decades behind bars after a jury convicted her of manslaughter in the death of her ex-boyfriend, whom she claimed had been abusive.
Jasmoray Baugh, 31, can be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison after last week”s conviction in the death of Korey Woulard, according to the 7th Judicial District State Attorney’s Office. Jurors chose not to convict Baugh of second-degree murder, instead opting for the lesser charge of manslaughter following a weeklong trial.
Baugh killed Woulard around 2 a.m. on Dec. 11, 2022. According to a probable cause arrest affidavit, Baugh gunned down her ex after he vandalized her car, which he had done on prior occasions. She then sent him a threatening text.
“I told the police you robbed me and shot at me and I sent them to little and yo gma house p— cause bout my car b— you going under the ground,” she wrote.
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 case.
“The defendant killed the victim for vandalizing her car,” State Attorney R.J. Larizza said. “Her retaliation could cost her 30 years in prison. A sad testament to the human condition.”
Sentencing is slated for Nov. 5.
