{ LINK: Exclusive Update on Marissa Alexander | Let's Talk About It! [link to .mp3 audio file] }

[WARNING for talk of domestic violence and racist/misogynist “justice” system fail]

source link with description:

[…] We followed up just two days before her sentencing with a bombshell interview with Angela Corey, the prosecutor in the case (and the current prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin case), Kevin Cobbin, Marissa Alexander’s attorney,  Chartrissia Anderson (a former partner of Rico Gray, Marissa Alexander’s husband/”victim”/accuser), Lincoln Alexander (Marissa’s ex-husband/current advocate) and Angie Nixon (Florida New Majority).  Angela Corey expressed her displeasure (to put it mildly) with the media (that means us) and their presentation of the case which she believes to be lopsided. We discussed what it means when Alexander’s husband, the star witness in the case, presents three different accounts of what happened the night of the incident.  We even played excerpts from the original 911 tape.  Alexander’s attorney, Kevin Cobbin, who makes it clear that neither he nor Alexander is trying to attack the state attorney’s office but that they need to find out why the system is not working for Marissa.

should’ve posted this earlier, too.
