in case you’re not familiar with her story [if you’re here from one of the other tags or something]:

On August 1, 2010, nine days after giving birth, Marissa Alexander tried to save her own life from her violent husband. Marissa fired a single shot into the ceiling of her home. Her weapon was registered, licensed and she held a concealed weapons permit.

Marissa was not granted immunity under Florida’s Stand Your Ground Statute and faces MANDATORY 20 years in prison.

No one was shot, killed, injured or, hospitalized during this incident. Marissa does not have a prior criminal record. [….]
