Black Floridian woman convicted for warning shots.
Quote:
Marissa Alexander may face 60 years in prison for firing what she says was a “warning shot” at her abusive estranged husband, as the Florida State Attorney’s office prepares to retry her on three counts of aggravated assault.
She would have got in less trouble for actually shooting him
Firing a "warning shot" shows you aren't serious, didn't need a gun, and that shot could hit someone else
If you are brandishing a gun it better be to shoot someone, if you don't need to shoot them then you shouldn't even be brandishing it in the first place
