Remember Angela Corey?
« on: May 09, 2014, 01:21:15 AM »
The special prosecutor that was (almost) a hero of the racial justice-ism, because she bravely and courageously charged George "Lily-White" Zimmerman with murder?

Well, that doesn't seem to have made her immune from the race-baiting industry:

If the conviction was appealed and the woman was acquitted, how can Corey go after her again?

Does anybody have the back story on this?

I think the page has just not been updated.


Oh, wait. I see the line to which you refer. Odd. Don't know anything about the case, so...

She wasn't acquitted on appeal, the court found that the jury instructions were incorrect. So retrial.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-woman-who-fired-warning-shot-could-get-60-years/

I'm sure we've talked about this case here before. It's a hot mess.


ETA: also FL has mandatory sentencing for firing a gun in a crime. So the prison term is nonadjustable.

The interesting thing in some of the articles I've read about this case is that many people state that a conviction of Marissa Alexander would be a blow to the people's right to self defense...within a sentence or two of commenting how Zimmerman was wrongly acquitted in his case.

No she couldn't. The LEAST sentence w/ plea that has been to see around is 3 years*.  And that was before Corey got involved.

State of Florida is pretty invested in her doing some time. I get the feeling her team is going for a jury nullification. I have no real idea how risky that mayor may not be, unlike our last two acquitted killers, the media seems nominally on her side.

*Which is a damn sight better than 60, I'll admit.

She's got 3 years in. Time served is a walk she's hoping to whack the piñata and get an acquittal . I suspect this is a bad decision like so many others

Makes me wonder about the source of/quality of advice she is getting.  A good attorney would present reality to her, no matter how ugly, and not sell her the idea of jury nullification.  Odds of that are pretty slim.  Wonder if she's getting advice from a bunch of do-gooders who have nothing to lose in this case, and are pushing her to trial to "promote their agenda", when she has everything to lose.

I have seen stupid folks ignore quality legal advice often. Myself amongst them.  Typically that means time

Some info from Legal Insurrection ...

http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/07/the-marissa-alexander-case-wasnt-about-stand-your-ground-either/

"The essential facts of the Alexander case are as follows. She and her husband, Gray, were engaged in a heated verbal dispute in the presence of his two children. There seems to have been little if any physical confrontation, but whatever might have occurred was of a non-deadly nature. At some point Alexander walked past Gray and the children into the garage, where she obtained a gun. She then fired the gun at, or in the direction of, Gray and the two children."

Walking past your kids into the garage, then firing in their direction?

Why do I feel like I've commented on this case before

Yea. When she gets 60 years instead of 20 it should be a hoot

Don't fire a "warning shot"; it's never legal.  If it's the prudent thing to do anyway, like maybe to scare away a vicious dog, just say that you missed.  That *might* get you off on the "no harm, no foul" principal if taking a real shot could possibly be justified.  Cops miss all the time.  (obligatory "IANAL")

I am only minimally aware of the original case.

She's bought the hype. She would be very wise to take a plea deal

Ditto.

I don't get the impression this was a classical "nuclear family."
