A Pasco County mother has pled guilty to manslaughter and will receive 10 years in prison following shooting a man she thought was molesting her mentally retarded daughter. Sylvia Neely shot and killed 73-year-old Arthur Danner after he bragged about molesting her daughter and threatening to do it again according to a story on TampaBay.com.
The shooting took place in 1998 in Land O’ Lakes. Neely fired five rounds into Danner and the re-loaded the gun and shot him in the groin. Neely has already served some of her sentence after a 2000 conviction on second-degree murder charges. An appeals court granted her a new trial but she has decided to accept a plea rather than go back to court.
