JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan 27 (Reuters) - A Florida woman who says she fired a warning shot at her abusive husband was released from a Jacksonville jail on Tuesday under a plea deal that capped her sentence to the three years she had already served.

Marissa Alexander, 34, was initially sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2012 but her conviction was later overturned. She faced another trial on charges that could have put her behind bars for 60 years before she agreed to a plea deal in November.

Her case helped to inspire a new state law permitting warning shots in some circumstances.

------------------------------
The lesson of such cases and the many others like them is that the mere presence of a black person is a credible threat in the eyes of the law. And that same racism informs who doesn’t present a credible threat. That same racism defines what kind of person can’t reasonably fear for their lives.

In the case of Marissa Alexander, a black mother in Florida, a man with a documented history of physical violence, a man who told Alexander that he was going to kill her, did not present a credible threat. Alexander’s husband, Rico Gray, broke down the door of the bathroom where she was hiding during a domestic violence incident. He grabbed her by the throat, and choked her as he held her against the floor. Alexander then tried to escape through the garage, but found herself trapped when the door wouldn’t open. She returned to the house having retrieved her handgun from her car and fired at a wall near where Gray stood. No one was harmed. But when Alexander tried to invoke Florida’s “stand your ground” law in her defense, she was denied. Twice. According to State Attorney Angela Corey, Alexander was “not in fear” but “angry“ when she fired the warning shot. She now faces up to 60 years in prison.

I always viewed this case as a miscarriage of justice.

There are tons of stupid laws in just about every state - listed on that site you referenced. Florida isn't an exception. Fortunately, (though not for you) the state continues to gain in population because of it's awesome weather, beaches and no state income tax.
 
Libtards who demand politically correct speech codes and enforcement against those who break the rules, aghast that Huckabee doesn't like to hear women cussing. Even though Huckabee's solution is for himself to leave the presence of offending speech. The hypocrisy doesn't get much deeper. But what else would you expect.

That would be the same Angela Corey idolized by the left for her persecution of George Zimmerman.

The problem with this woman's case is that she returned to the house. If she had stayed in the garage and her husband approached her there, she would have had a good case. Probably they didn't believe she couldn't get the garage door open and that she just went there to get her gun. I'm not defending the prosecution, which seems very excessive under the circumstances. I fail to see any racial angle in the case though. Was her husband white?
