Aug. 16—Family members of Milton Roberts asked a Lucas County Common Pleas Court judge for the maximum prison term Monday for a Toledo woman who shot the man multiple times as he allegedly burglarized her home.
Robert's older sister, Lorena Roberts, asked Judge Ian English on Monday to sentence Laniesha Walls, 25, to a maximum term of 17 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter for fatally shooting the man multiple times at her apartment in the 1400 block of Norwood Avenue on June 22, 2020.
Roberts later died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Lucas County Coroner's Office.
"An angry, young woman with a gun doesn't think rationally," Ms. Roberts said on Monday. "She had shot him once but her anger wanted him dead. As he lay wounded, Ms. Walls hovered over him and shot him again, multiple times. And then she left the scene, leaving him dead on the sidewalk. No attempt to seek help, no remorse for what she did.
"Ms. Walls, in my opinion, is a cold-blooded killer and does not deserve any more breaks," Ms. Roberts added, claiming her brother's life had more meaning than the agreed-upon sentence of six years in prison.

Was it in her home or on the sidewalk?
If this is a jury trial she would be acquitted—juries get the “castle doctrine” even if the law does not...
Simple, your Honor, he was still threatening me: 'byatch I'm gonna kill you right now!"
Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
well crap! I always thought that I would fire until the threat was removed. I guess if I only get one shot, it had better be a a LARGE cal.
Following him outside, shooting him when he’s laying on the ground, then leaving. Yeah, that’s a bad combo.
Need a photo to adjudicate her case.
There must be more to this story..................
Soinds like she shot him once.
He was resisting and she shot him a couple more times.
That’s where she went wrong.
Another article that leaves out pertinent information. They say as he lay on the sidewalk, so did she chase him out of her house to finish him off? All the important details omitted from the article.
She didn’t use the female card. Empty the pistol into him. Then stand there catatonic click click click click click... run and hug the first arriving cop and say “you saved me, he said he was going to rape me!”. Burst into tears...
Soinds like she shot him once.
He WASN’T resisting and she shot him a couple more times.
That’s where she went wrong.
So she’ll get more time in prison for killing him, then he’d get for risking his life burglarizing homes knowing he might get shot
He took the risk knowing the stakes. He lost.
Shoot, shovel, and shut up.
found a photo. Guilty!
“An angry, young woman with a gun doesn’t think rationally,” Ms. Roberts said on Monday.
One of the reasons I don’t think Zimmerman intentionally shot what’s his name is because only one shot was fired. If I was under a guy being pummeled, I’d empty my gun into him, to be sure he stopped.
Really badly written article with a misleading headline. I can’t sort it out either. “at” her apartment or “in” her apartment or “on” the sidewalk or all of the above?
“I just want to apologize to the family,” Walls said, hanging her head throughout the proceedings.
Walls returned home on June 22, 2020, to find Roberts burglarizing her apartment, said Mr. Stone. There was a confrontation and Roberts left through a side door.
Both Roberts and Walls went outside of the building when it appeared Roberts turned and charged toward her, Mr. Stone said. Walls shot Roberts, but she continued firing after he was immobile on the ground, according to Mr. Bahner.
“She indicated she first encountered him in a stairwell in which he then went back into her apartment and she went back outside the building and around the front where she then fatally shot and killed him,” Mr. Bahner wrote in court documents.
After the shooting, Walls took a bag from the victim and got into her vehicle and drove away.

Her defense lawyer should say she thought the burglar was an “insurrectionist”.
