Marissa Alexander,
mother of three, is released from her sentence of 20 years in jail for
firing off a gun. This shot was only supposed to scare off her supposedly abusive
husband and didn’t hurt anybody. Though no one was hurt she was still tried and
sent to prison. As of right now the case is being retried and she was released
early under special conditions and a $150,000 bond. This whole case is
interesting civil rights leaders who feel that the initial sentence was way too harsh. They are fighting using Florida’s “stand your
ground” law. She is now home with her family under electronic monitoring 24/7 until further notice.
