Mar 3 - Marissa Alexander’s Sentence Could Triple in Retrial

[Deadpool1986]

Marissa Alexander could be slapped with a 60-year prison sentence, triple the length of her original 20-year sentence, when she goes up for retrial in July for aggravated assault, the Florida Times-Union reports.

According to reports, State Attorney Angela Corey will now push to have the entire 60 years served if Alexander is convicted again, essentially condemning the 33-year-old to life imprisonment.

In 2012 Alexander was convicted on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She claims she fired a warning shot to ward off her estranged husband during an argument, invoking Florida's "Stand your ground" law. She contended that her husband was emotionally and physically abusive, which led to the firing of the weapon. Circuit Judge James Daniel originally ordered her to serve three separate 20-year sentences concurrently under Florida’s 10-20-life law, the Times-Union notes.

According to the site, her conviction was tossed out after an appeals court ruled that Judge Daniel erroneously placed the burden on Alexander to prove she was truly acting in self-defense.

She was released on bail in November of last year and remained in home detention as of Jan. 10 to await her trial, which is scheduled for July 28.

fukk this c*nt bytch, why is she trying to send this woman away for 60-years? she only shot at him, she didn't kill him, it's not fair that's theirs a chance that she might go too jail for 60-years for firing a warning shot, but yet Zimmerman bytch ass is still walking free. America really doesn't give a damn about us, everyday they keep showing us how little they care about us as a people, I mean there not even try to hide it anymore, 60-years for aggravated assault is ridiculous, man fukk this country, and fukk Angela Corey!!!

Breh, look up the last time a president has pardoned a STATE inmate. Then look up presidential pardon powers.

 

[Ain't That Something]

I will admit it I was one of the dumbasses that thought she deserved 20. I was completely wrong about her case. That lady does not deserve to serve such a severe sentence as 20 so 60 is unfathomable and can only be nothing but straight abuse of power. How is that even legal is beyond comprehension.

this state in particular seems really committed to taking us all back to an America of 100 years ago. People of color need to move the fukk out of there, and entertainers need to follow through with avoiding tours that swing through florida, or any efforts at economic involvement with the state. Enough is enough. We need to take a stand. Wearing symbolic hoodies is fine, but cats like Lebron James need to threaten to "take his talents elsewhere" over these judicial outrages.
