PARDON Abused Mother Marissa Alexander for Standing Her Ground
Target: Florida Governor Rick Scott

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
The Stand Your Ground Defense failed domestic abuse victim Marissa Alexander - who didn‘t shoot anyone. And urgent pleas to Florida to grant her a new trial have fallen on deaf ears. It is time for the Governor to bring justice to this innocent mother.
Only after enduring a year of violence from her husband Rico Gray, who has a documented history of abuse, did she arm herself for protection.
The next time came just nine days after giving birth to their daughter. Gray, in a rage, cornered her, and when he saw her pistol, he threatened to kill her. But instead of shooting him, she aimed upward. The only thing she hit was the ceiling.
Gray responded by running into the street, claiming she threatened to kill him and his boys. Marissa, on his word alone, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
For protecting her life and children she was just sentenced to twenty years in prison - denied the right to a new trial under the state’s Stand Your Ground law, even though Gray recanted.
Tell Florida Governor Scott to pardon Marissa NOW!

Abused Wife Marissa Alexander Faces 20 Year Sentence, “Stand Your Ground” Law Fails Her
May 3, 2012 7 By Danielle Young, Associate Editor
The same “Stand Your Ground Law” that’s been said to be George Zimmerman’s–Trayvon Martin’s killer–saving grace from conviction doesn’t quite hold up for Marissa Alexander. This woman is someone who had been abused by her husband and finally fought back–with force, in Florida–the place where the “Stand Your Ground” Law seemingly protects cold blooded murderers.
It really does depend on who you are, whether or not the “Stand Your Ground” Law will protect you.
On August 1, 2010, Alexander fought for her life against an abusive husband who, according to her, had every intention of killing her. Alexander now awaits trial on three counts of of aggravated assault with no intent to harm, and faces a minimum 20 years in prison after shooting a warning shot into the ceiling to warn her threatening husband from approaching her.
The judge in the case dismissed Alexander’s motion to receive immunity under the “Stand Your Ground,” and she is struggling to get her story heard.

Re: PARDON Abused Mother Marissa Alexander for Standing Her Ground
I think this is complete injustice! This idiot admitted he has FIVE "baby mamma's" and he's abused 4 of them. Then, he says he'll be interviewed only if he is paid. And, from what I've read, he has a rap sheet for DV. So, Why wasn't she found to be immune due to the infamous "Stand Your Ground Law" in Florida? And, she just gave birth 9 days when she shot straight up at the kitchen ceiling. I don't blame her!! She doesn't belong behind bars! Look at Casey - walking free as a bird and this poor woman/mother is in prison for 20 years? This is despicable!
