A Pensacola man who fatally shot his mother was sentenced to just over a decade in prison. David Allan Ohlson, 19, initially faced charges of second-degree murder for the death of his mother, Adrianna Ohlson, after shooting her with a shotgun on April 8, 2022, in front of his father. Despite Ohlson's attorney arguing that he suffers from severe mental illness requiring medical care outside of prison, Circuit Judge John Simon sentenced him to 124.5 months in the Florida Department of Corrections. After serving his sentence, Ohlson will complete two years of community control followed by 15 years of probation, according to Assistant State Attorney Trey Myers. Attorney Sharon Wilson had planned to use the insanity defense, but Ohlson ultimately signed a plea agreement on May 17, 2023, pleading no contest to one count of manslaughter with a firearm instead of facing a murder charge. The case hinged on whether Ohlson's mental health met the criteria for legal insanity. Pensacola psy...
