Re: Marissa Alexander

Your Honor,

I am writing this letter to protest the recent decision to imprison Marissa Alexander for 20 years.

I believe that this verdict does not represent justice. Marissa Alexander was under attack and feared for her life. She had the right to stand her ground and should be protected under the Stand Your Ground Law, which states:

“A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity, and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony….” (codified in Florida Statutes 776.013(3)(2006))

I ask that you please reconsider your decision.

Sincerely,

A concerned citizen
