Marrisa Alexander , the Florida woman who stood trial and was convicted of, shooting at her husband, Rico Gray, Sr. Alexander fired two “warning shots” and was sentenced to 10-20 years in prison. The case was compared to that of, George Zimmerman, who had actually shot and killed the victim. As of late Wednesday night, Alexander was released from prison on bond. The mother of two was granted a new trial due to incorrect jury instructions. For now, the woman will remain on house arrest. The prosecution is working hard bt changing that.

(Video) George Zimmerman Goes Free But Marissa Alexander Gets 20 Years?!?
Angela Corey, the prosecutor against George Zimmerman, recently took on Marissa Alexander, a Florida resident with an abusive husband. On a night where her husband was abusing her and would not stop, Alexander shot a warning gunshot for her husband to take a step back. The gunshot had not hit anything, but unfortunately Angela Corey came down on her and sentenced her to 20 years in prison. Alexander tried to use the ‘Stand Your Ground’ defense but Corey dismissed it. This crazy injustice is just another example of how the system needs to be changed. Listen to Marissa Alexander’s story after the jump.
