William Lorance was sentenced to 25 years in jail for committing murder and homicide in 2000. He was living with his mother and step-father for about a week in the 22700 block of Islamare Lane in Lake Forest after having a domestic fight with his wife.

According to police, he and his stepdad confronted each other after the parents asked him to move out, which enraged him. After he was kicked out of their home, he planned to kill both of his parents.

He broke into the house through a second-story window carrying a pickaxe and a hammer from an Irvine construction site where he worked. His attorney made sure he would not be charged with first-degree murder, and the defendant did mention that his actions were the result of heartbreak, alcohol abuse, and despondency.

The LA Times shared that the jury, however, rejected the claim of his attorney that the murder was a crime of passion and that he never considered the consequences of his actions. Thus, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
