Marissa Alexander has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Marissa is the victim here. Her husband beat her while she was pregnant. After yet another beating, Alexander fired a warning shot which traveled through a wall and into the ceiling. That shot saved her life. Prosecutor Angela Corey did not take into account that Marissa Alexander:
Had a court injunction against her crazed husband,Had Given Birth 9 Days Earlier,Was trained to use a weapon and earned a concealed weapons permit.

Just watched your story (about which I had never heard anything...) on CNN's "AC 360". My heart truly goes out to you, Sista. I don't understand how, in your country, one (you!) can face up to 20 years in prison in ANY situation where there isn't even any human death. Be strong in court, next week. Hopefully, common sense shall prevail... :/
