ATTORNEY
MICHAEL G. DOWD - PIONEER IN BATTERED WOMEN'S MOVEMENT LAUNCHES
FIGHT FOR MARISSA ALEXANDER
(New
York, New York) – 5/29/2012 – Attorney Michael G. Dowd brings
over 30 years to the table in defending battered women. Dowd is known
to have an exceptional history in fighting for battered women and
feels that Marissa Alexander's case is one of the worse examples of
domestic and judicial abuse that he's encountered.
Marissa
Alexander suffered extensive beatings by her husband and has most
recently been beaten up by the Florida judicial system. Alexander was
handed a 20 year sentence on May 11, 2012 as a result of firing a
warning shot into the wall. Alexander feels that the shot saved her
life - it scared off her obsessively abusive husband. The incident
occurred just days after giving birth.
