Following her release, she will be required to complete five years of probation and must undergo a mental health evaluation as well as ongoing therapy.

Had she been convicted at trial on the second-degree murder charge, she could have faced a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.

A Mother's Pain in Court

Among the most moving moments of the proceedings was a victim impact statement delivered by Obumseli's mother, who spoke directly about the void left by her son's death.

"Nothing can describe what it feels like for a mother to stand at the grave of her child. There are some things that will never happen to me now that he is gone. The birthdays and holidays we will not celebrate with him, the conversations we will never have, the person he will grow into — those losses will go well beyond today's court case," she said.

Obumseli, a Nigerian-American, died in April 2022 after being stabbed at the couple's shared condo in the Edgewater neighbourhood of Miami, reports Rolling Stone.
