Marissa Alexander, the 31-year-old Florida woman who fired what her family calls a warning shot at her abusive husband, was sentenced Friday morning to 20 years in prison.

Alexander was convicted of three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for firing into a wall near her husband and his two young children at their Jacksonville home in 2010. Alexander has maintained that she wasn’t trying to hurt anyone and that she was standing her ground against a man who had over the course of nearly a year punched and choked her on several different occasions. Alexander says that she believed she was protected that day under the state’s Stand Your Ground Law, which gives people wide discretion in using deadly force to defend themselves.

A judge and a jury disagreed.

The State Attorney’s Office offered a plea bargain that would have sent Alexander to prison for three years, but she rejected it, hoping to convince a jury that she had been defending herself when she fired the weapon.

......crazy......................amazing.................lets see if the NRA, etc come to her defense for an appeal......

20 Years for 1 shot in the air, based on the laws constructed by the state and nobody was hurt??????????? are you joking

The only about this is that the MSM will not report this story more than likely b/se they have no clue how to frame A Black Woman feeling the need to invoke the Stand Your Ground Law Against a Black Man...guarantee FOX won't even touch this.....they will avoid this story and ruling like the plague...

[newworldafro]

it wasnt a stand your ground case

How was it not??? At what point does it become a "Stand Your Ground Case"??

Even if it wasn't "A Stand Your Ground Case"...20 years based on the circumstances of the case is still ridiculous.......matter fact its a downright injustice.......

i agree 20 years is excessive

from what i remember dude wasnt even in the garage and she barricaded herself in there and shot the gun in the air and her fuking kids could of been hit

stand your ground pretty much is during a direct confrontation

she was reckless, she would of been better off letting him come in and popping him there

This may be true.....but that shiit is bad fuucked up.......

Yall have to read the entired article, not just the OP's passage, dude admitted he abused all his baby mamas.....

If you read the entire article you realize there is no reason she should be in jail for 20 years based on the facts of the case, other than the nonbendable gun law they have there........

SHE WOULDN'T HAVE THAT 20 YEAR MANDATORY SENTENCE IF SHE HAD TAKEN THE 3 YEAR PLEA DEAL, BROTHER!

SHE WENT TO THE HOUSE HER ABUSIVE HUSBAND WAS AT, DUDE! SHE CONFRONTED HIM, LEFT THE ROOM, CAME BACK WITH A GUN, AND SHOT IT AT THE WALL, BROTHER! WITH HER KIDS IN THE ROOM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT, DUUDE!

THE HUSBAND ADMITTED HE LATER MET WITH HER TO DISCUSS WHAT HE WOULD SAY IN HIS DEPOSITION SO THAT HOPEFULLY SHE WOULDN'T GET CHARGED, BROTHER! THEY AGREED TO EXAGGERATE THE STORY OF HIS ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR, DUUUDE!

20 YEAR MANDATORY MINIMUMS IS RIDICULOUS, BUT SHE PUT HERSELF IN THIS MESS, BROTHER!
