GOD is Good.

This case needs to be dismissed.




JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville woman awaiting a new trial in a controversial "stand your ground" case is free on bond.

First Coast News (http://fcnews.tv/18q19sa) reports that Marissa Alexander was released from jail Wednesday. According to the Duval County Clerk of Court, she must remain under house arrest while awaiting trial.

In 2012, Alexander was sentenced to a mandatory 20-year prison sentence for firing what she insisted was a warning shot during a fight with her husband. She tried to invoke Florida's "stand your ground" law, but the judge threw out her self-defense claim.

An appeals court ruled in September that the judge in the case gave improper jury instructions.
Alexander says she fired a bullet at a wall in 2010 to scare off her husband when she felt he was threatening her.

perhaps. but what if that bullet struck someone? it was dangerously reckless and she should be punished for it.


"what if", would be a different story. That "what if" never happened. She should be sentenced but 20 years is not the proper sentence.

Im kind of torn on this way. I dont wanna see a sista rot away while that fat beaner Zimmerman is walkin around free as fukk, but i think the she fired a "warning shot" is some bs. That chick is crazy as fukk. But ultimately im not mad

Also where was the physical evidence to back up her claims; he bust the door down, he grabbed her by her throat?
