“She had a felony conviction on her record from earlier that year.”
If she was turning her life around, now had a HUSBAND and a baby on the way, and she was in jeopardy of her life and the life of her baby, I’d give her a pass.
I mean, this works for Black Lives Matter, does it not? Shouldn’t FORGIVENESS be across the board?
You can’t have it both ways, though Libs are FAMOUS for their double standards.
P.S. If it turns out she was a Trump Voter, then...The Death Penalty.

So for defending herself, her household and her baby from an intruding criminal she’ll spend a quarter of a century in prison?

Put me on that jury. Acquittal or mistrial. Hope the prosecutor runs into a thug.

My preference on firearms would be that children would have access as decided by their parents. People in prison, jail, probation, or parole would have no firearms, and otherwise their possession would be almost unrestricted except in a few government buildings. Why not restore the God-given human rights of felons who have served their time?

If the article is accurate, this is such a bs. Under that circumstance, she had to defend herself and her husband against home intruder

It’s an upside down world 2DV! The “justice system” has devolved into a bunch of government agents who mindlessly apply the law. And the results are there for all to see. Real criminal activity is up, and we’re content to fill up our jails with this stuff. It’s just a lazy, spiteful system.

Why not restore the God-given human rights of felons who have served their time?Yes, if their felony conviction has nothing whatsoever to do with a firearms crime as is the case here.

If the State can ban one of God's own plants, then its power is effectively
limitless. Essentially,
anything can be banned if Congress or a designated bureaucrat so decides, whether based on the support of a vocal majority or not. This is one reason why the Founders rejected Democracy, because Democracy boils down to two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner.
Don't forget that when it was originally released, the film Reefer Madness was intended to be taken seriously—and it was by much of the People. Indeed, we're still dealing with the legacy of that hysterical propaganda even today...

The article says, "one of her husband's guns".
So she's charged with possession for the short time it took her to pick up a gun and defend her own life?

This was in her home, it’s not as if she were carrying illegally.
This was clearly self defense. She should be praised for having the presence of mind to kill the intruder, otherwise we might be reading about a dead woman found after the intruder killed her.

A couple of bags of herbs and she lost the right to defend herself?
Ridiculous.
Pot will be legal nationwide before Trump leaves office.

I see your "Big Pharma' and raise you "Big Tobacco"
"Big Tobacco" has all the machinery, packaging and network to churn out pot cigarettes. They will market their brand as the "best" and beat out the "mom and pop" operations and the cartels.
ONCE it becomes legal nationwide(federal law)
Bet on it.

The most amazing part of the story is that she was charged with a felony for possession of marijuana.
What kind of stupid people have laws like that?

Exactly and I think that is deliberately stretching the definition of possession simply to get a conviction and mess with her. Probably underlying anti-gun sentiments in their motive to prosecute too. I call BS.
