This black woman husband was trying to beat on her and she shot a gun in the air to make him leave her alone. She had to go to court because of this, her lawyers said that she was standing her ground. Even though she never shot anybody she was sentenced to 20 years in prison, she also lived in Florida. George Zimmerman shot and killed an unarmed black kid and he was found not guilty. http://www.hlntv.com/article/2013/07/15/marissa-alexander-stand-your-ground-george-zimmerman Edited by Knowledge, Jul 15 2013, 10:25 PM.

There is no way that she should be in jail. |

Ladybug you are right the Stand Your Ground law didn't apply to George Zimmerman and that's why his lawyers never used it. If they had used the Stand Your Ground law he would have lost this case by a landslide. |

Yes she should. You can't just retrieve a gun and fire it. Bullets have to fall somewhere |

She was convicted of three counts of aggravated assault Under Florida’s 10-20-life law, Alexander was sentenced to a mandatory 20 years behind bars because she was convicted of aggravated assault where a firearm was discharged. And she turned down a plea deal of 3 years Edited by kennyinbmore, Jul 15 2013, 11:49 PM.

I agree, she didn't even hurt nobody. This is absurd to me. We got people out here killing innocent kids,raping women and gangs terrorizing neighborhoods. They worried about this lady who was trying to defend herself. This is a damn shame they would convict her. I know some folks are going to say she should of took the 3 yrs. Hell I wouldn't of either, In fact; she probably thought they weren't going to convict her. |
