interesting story and disturbing reselling vendors a thirty one-year-old
woman she's a mother of three
she is now pleading for her freedom as an inmate in duval county jail in
jacksonville for a florida lewis in this story
really shows the incredible subjective indiana pa percy wood would stand your
ground laws in florida armed force
here's the situation the context is george zimmerman trip on martin
i don't want to rehash the entire thing but as we know zimmerman killing martin
after he claimed he feared for his life
because the unarmed martin armed only with skittles
a lot of high fructose corn syrup and apparently iced tea
decided to
i guess
threatened zimmerman in some way that's the story we're hearing zimmerman given
the benefit of the doubt it was standard ground self-defense
only after several months was he arrested and a lot of
uh... above organization saying that he is being unfairly targeted because this
dangerous seventeen-year-old
black teenager was going to go
so you did rehash the whole story now very delicate
so now we have a recess alexander now on august first white and the background of
this
is that marissa alexander uh...
was with her husband rico gray rico read some text messages that she was
exchanging with an ex-husband of hers
and whom grade became enraged thinking that his wife was being unfaithful
started
uh... up struck warning to tumor cell alexander strangled her
put his hands around her neck
she managed to escape is gripped was running around the house she planned to
get into her car which was in the garage and drive away actually
this is the duty to retreat that we see with self defense she was actually doing
that she was trying to retreat
turns out when she got into the garage he didn't even have a cart okay
so
uh... in the confusion of despite
she didn't have a car keys the garage door wouldn't open she couldn't get out
so she says i'm you i have to protect myself i couldn't find them
he was a hundred pounds more than me
i grabbed my weapon at that point soloist we have a situation here would
actually just happen to have your honor
uh... when you know if he she uh... she had a pistol he admitted she'd up as far
as you know this was a legal got knowing she was writing from him she ends up in
the garage
but then somehow has returned on her i don't know where the gun was it whether
it was the garage or not she raised the gun to hand he said
uh... vat
he would kill her
he would kill her and that was absolutely what she believed he was
going to do and that's what he intended to do
she did not discharge her weapon
until that happened
and she shot the weapon
now here's the interesting thing hin should her husband
to shut the weapon at the ceiling scare him off and it did at that point her
husband left with us to kids
and she was she is now under arrest for
three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
there is an admitted history of sexual or physical abuse from gray in a
previous incident
alexander say he beat her so severely he ended up in jail and she ended up in the
hospital okay
not to people who don't know each other like zimmerman entry by martin
and uh... she is in jail here we seem to have a very different standard for stand
your ground which she she attempted user attorney attempted to say this was
standard ground she feared for her life
double standard
uh... yeah i just don't understand where the assault is
she was assaulted
that's what i thought decide what do you think of this
did i mean it seems pretty clear
gee i mean
what else is new to say about this
does race pro player role here
does raise play a role does the fact that the victim in the trade on martin
story was black
and hear the shorter is black even though she didn't choose anyone does
that play a role what can we say about that
uh... it
it might play a role mean what we're talking that originally with the chair
or martin case and was
not about where there is george generous racist but whether or not the uh... the
people who were groped for needed to prosecute him a racist what should she
have actually shot
and killed
then maybe it would be more credible
listen if you feared for your life
why do you see that the ceiling maybe fish are your husband i mean is that the
point where at
we're standard ground is only believable
if they actually follow through with a killing in criminal edge that in self
defense is that what they don't get the underground only apply
to a murder
no i don't know if that's the case and i certainly not
always i mean the tai maybe he should maybe she should have killed maybe she
wouldn't be in jail
if she'd killed and somehow i don't think so
well i mean if it's true that stand your ground is in is a defense that people
use when they kill someone and not when they do anything else
but when with the f_a_a_ dealing with that when you are acting to defend
yourself it doesn't matter whether you killed the person req
well i think that she should
a remarkable monoversery that me incredible there
the restrain george there are many did not show and may end up actually being
acquitted
rub with it's it's really incredible is we have forty-eight hours left on the
made membership special d_-day the package a membership and a hoodie
special bundle
