In May 2012, 31-year-old Marissa Alexander was prosecuted for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and received a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison. Alexander argued that she fired a warning shot after her husband attacked her and threatened to kill her. The case has gained some public recognition because of the comparisons made to the widely covered George Zimmerman case, in which Zimmerman was prosecuted for the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin. Both cases were prosecuted by Florida State Prosecutor, Angela Corey, and, in both cases, Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law was implicated.

She lost any chance of “Stand Your Ground” when she went to the garage to get the gun and return

If I’m remembering the details correctly

“I FEARED FOR MY LIFE!”

“I want a lawyer”

These are the ONLY words that should come out of your mouth.

When the cops keep insisting that they need to know what happened, you just keep repeating those lines.

It’s not like there’s anything else you can say that’s going to have you back to your TV and easy chair anytime soon.

"Both cases were prosecuted by Florida State Prosecutor, Angela Corey, and, in both cases, Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law was implicated."

Actually, in neither case was Stand Your Ground implicated.

I must have had a remote lobotomy or alien abduction. I have not one shred of recollection of this case.
