Sentenced: Daughter Fatally Stabbed Her Own Mother Over ‘Relationship’ With Mom’s Friend

A 22-year-old woman in Florida will spend several decades behind bars for stabbing her mother in the chest during an argument over her “relationship” with one of her mom’s friends, causing the elder woman to bleed out and die.

Circuit Judge Charles Crawford on Friday ordered Jackalynn D’Auria to serve a sentence of 30 years in a state correctional facility for the “brutal stabbing death” of 36-year-old Amanda Ervin, authorities announced.

Crawford handed down the maximum possible sentence to D’Auria, one month after a jury in Brevard County found her guilty on one count of manslaughter with a weapon or firearm in her mother’s 2020 death, court records show. The jury acquitted D’Auria on one count of second-degree murder with a deadly weapon, saving the 22-year-old from facing a potential life sentence.

D’Auria claimed self-defense, telling investigators that she was in a bedroom in the home when her mother came in and began to “batter her,” per the affidavit. She said that she “pulled a knife and stabbed the victim to stop the altercation” before discarding the weapon in a yard and fleeing the scene. While investigators said that D’Auria had several observable wounds, they noted that none were consistent with being “recently battered.”

Prosecutors said that the attack took place during “a confrontation over D’Auria’s relationship with one of Ervin’s friends.”

While incarcerated earlier this year, D’Auria was charged with one count of battery by a detained person for allegedly touching another inmate’s thigh without permission and continuing to do so after the other inmate told her to stop, court records show. A hearing in that matter is scheduled for Aug. 24.
