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

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.
Obviously if righteous self-defense is the whole story, it would be outrageous to persecute her over a prior drug violation. But the article is all “according to Tran”. Home invasion robberies have a way of occurring where the perpetrators expect to find drugs/cash, or people who have screwed them in prior drug deals. The prosecutors’ zeal would make sense if they believed the woman was endangering her child by continuing to traffic drugs, and that the self-defense shooting was connected.
