Holy Carp!
This is the same bee-yotch that is persecuting George Zimmerman.
No wonder the poor wife got 20 years.
This sh!t makes me sick.
Jury nullification could have helped here.
Got it! She should have shot him.
For those who wonder why innocent people often take plea bargains on the advice of counsel...
The mrs. Alexander, the shooter, returned into the house with the gun in order to retrieve her vehicle keys after realizing she had left the hosue without them.
In this case, no physical evidence is presented about whether the husband actually made an assalut-like move against her. But, she should definitely have not returned into the house but run to someone else's home if she was certain-be-in-danger-of-life.
Rick Scott should pardon her. But he won’t. After all he CHOSE this psycho bitch Corey for the Martin case!
I think she should have been found not guilty, given the following, I can sort of understand the verdict.
“She said she escaped and ran to the garage, intending to drive away. But, she said, she forgot her keys, so she picked up her gun and went back into the house. She said her husband threatened to kill her, so she fired one shot.”
Her going back into the house with the gun, seems to be what prevented her from claiming self defense.
Still, even if you don’t buy self defense, I think this seems more like reckless endagerment than aggravated assault. She did not injure, or even attempt to injure anyone. 20 years is extremely excessive.
This seems like one of the few cases where a pardon or commutation would be appropriate.
She used common sense thinking a shot would show she was serious about him backing off.
Common sense is no longer an excuse under the law.
Hire an attorney, belt him to your waist, and go about your day, conulting occassionally.
20 years for a warning shot? People get less than that for killing someone. Women are out there cutting off their husbands’ penises, shooting them in their sleep and all other manner of nastiness, and they often get off scot-free or with a slap on the wrist, and this woman gets 20 years for a warning shot?
Sucks to live in Fla.
Going to be interesting to watch Sharpton, Jackson, Holder and Obama trying to justify SYG in this case but want it used to hang Zimmerman in the Treyvon case.
I predict heads will start exploding.
I’m going to make up a huge batch of popcorn for this one.
And, if you're not white and fire a weapon in self defense and are prosecuted it's racist....
Let's cut the crap here, if you're white it's racist....
The anti-gun crowd did this. We have a law here that gives a mandatory sentence for any crime involving a gun.
Let’s not jump to conclusions, as the MEDIA seems so eager to do when it comes to these things.
I will say that IF this is really “as reported” (and we have plenty of reason to doubt the Obama ass kissing media), then perhaps Governor Scott can commute her sentence and/or pardon her. :)
Assuming that the woman had good reason to fear for her safety at the time she fired the shot it sounds like the husband got off *real* easy.I’ll wager that this prosecutor believes that only “beautiful people” like herself have the right to defend themselves and all others can just take what’s coming to them.

After Zimmerman is acquitted he needs to sue her and the state of FL for wrongful imprisonment.
