Here is a summary of the news reported by FOX 35 Orlando:

Julia Egler, now 18 years old, was sentenced to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of second-degree murder for killing her mother, Kelley McCollum, and her mother’s 22-year-old boyfriend, Matthew Szejnork, in Palm Bay, Florida.

Key details of the case from the report:

• The Incident: In 2024, when Egler was 16 years old, she shot and stabbed both victims inside their home. She initially called the Palm Bay Police Department reporting a staged home break-in that never occurred. • Motive: Investigators stated that Egler disapproved of her mother dating a younger man and that tensions existed because her mother did not support Egler’s gender transition. • The Plea Deal: Egler’s original charges of first-degree premeditated murder were downgraded to second-degree murder as part of an agreement with prosecutors, allowing her to avoid a trial and a possible life sentence. • Court Statements: In court, Egler expressed remorse, stating, “I was just a kid who made a bad decision,” and claimed she did not preplan the attack but reacted because a gun happened to be present. Family members of Matthew Szejnork gave emotional victim impact statements highlighting the loss of his future. • Sentencing and Parole: Brevard County Judge Michelle Naberhaus handed down the 50-year sentence. Under the terms of the agreement and Florida law for juvenile offenders, Egler may become eligible for parole after serving 25 years (around age 43). If released, she will remain under court supervision and require ongoing mental health evaluations.
