Although no one was injured in the incident, a jury convicted Marissa Alexander of multiple counts of aggravated assault with a firearm in 2012, requiring a 20 year sentence thanks to Florida’s “10-20-Life” law, which sets mandatory minimum sentences for crimes committed with a gun. Her conviction was overturned in September when a judge ordered a retrial after finding that the jury instructions in her original trial were erroneous and had unfairly put the burden on Alexander to prove that she had fired her shot in self-defense.
Marissa Alexander had spent more than 1,000 days behind bars, according to her lawyers’ count, keeping her away from her youngest child for most of the first three years of her life.
With that said...Yesterday,Florida State Attorney Angela Corey filed a motion late Monday evening to revoke the bond of Marissa Alexander.
According to local news, Ms.Alexander was ordered to remain on home detention as a condition of her release. However, the state attests that Alexander allegedly left her home numerous times to run errands.
Ms.Alexander was released on bond November 27, 2013. She is currently awaiting a new trial for firing a warning shot in the ceiling during an altercation with her ex-husband. The motion will be reviewed on Friday, January 10, at 9 a.m.
This guy has been arrested for two violent incidents with women since then...The assault on his estranged wife and her father and an assault last year of his girlfriend....Each time he was released on bail... with no strings attached...
I know, I know...Those of you who actually believe that under law this guy is somehow innocent will say I'm arguing apples and oranges...but it looks pretty fishy to me....
If it looks like a double standard, walks like a double standard and quacks like a double standard...then more than likely...it is a double standard...
RACIST DOUBLE STANDARDS UNDER THE LAW MUST NO LONGER STAND!!

"Sooner we'll be done with the troubles of this world! We're going home to live with God!" My cousin, as I live I have seen many double standards and learned to just exhale slowly. Is there justice on the earth?? I haven't seen it!! In the workplace, the incompetent lazy ass gets the promotion. Then everybody else works harder. At school, the cheats get the A+ and the scholarships are handed down through bloodlines.
I'm like David in trying not to fret the evildoers. After I've done all I can, I just stand!!
