If she got 20 years, there must have been a prior conviction on her record?
Otherwise, what's the 10 for in 10/20/life?

In a 2010 deposition, Gray admitted to abusing Alexander and multiple other partners: "I got five baby mamas and I put my hand on every last one of them except one." He added, "the way I was with women, they was like they had to walk on eggshells around me. You know, they never knew what I was thinking... or what I might do... hit them, push them." http://www.buzzfeed.com/annanorth/the-9-events-that-led-to-marissa-alexanders-reve

Going to be interesting to watch Sharpton, Jackson, Holder and Obama trying to justify SYG in this case but want it used to hang Zimmerman in the Treyvon case.
I predict heads will start exploding.
I’m going to make up a huge batch of popcorn for this one.

So if you're white and fire a weapon in self defense and are not prosecuted it's racist....
And, if you're not white and fire a weapon in self defense and are prosecuted it's racist....
Let's cut the crap here, if you're white it's racist....

10 is to have a gun when comitting a crime, 20 if you use it and life if you kill (injure maybe?) someone with it.

“Otherwise, what’s the 10 for in 10/20/life?”
Use a gun in the commission of a felony=10 years
Fire the gun while committing that felony=20 years
If the bullet hits someone=life, can also be DEATH if that person is killed....

The anti-gun crowd did this. We have a law here that gives a mandatory sentence for any crime involving a gun.
To: Free ThinkerNY
Let’s not jump to conclusions, as the MEDIA seems so eager to do when it comes to these things.
I will say that IF this is really “as reported” (and we have plenty of reason to doubt the Obama ass kissing media), then perhaps Governor Scott can commute her sentence and/or pardon her. :)
To: Free ThinkerNY
Assuming that the woman had good reason to fear for her safety at the time she fired the shot it sounds like the husband got off *real* easy.I’ll wager that this prosecutor believes that only “beautiful people” like herself have the right to defend themselves and all others can just take what’s coming to them.

Over charging seems to be a pattern with Angela Corey.
Zimmerman prosecutor under fire (video - a different case)
After Zimmerman is acquitted he needs to sue her and the state of FL for wrongful imprisonment.

More to the story: after she shot the warning shot, he went outside,
called police and falsely reported that she had shot at him and his two young children..
There is a very important thing that habitual criminals know: whoever calls the police FIRST controls the narrative. Here he was, in violation of a restraining order, having threatened her. Police were going to be coming because of the shot. The thing to do is be the one calling the police and making it all about HER threatening HIM. The police thereupon arrested her, and the case acquired momentum.
Never fire a warning shot. ALWAYS be sure to be the first one to call police, and have your story be the one they hear.
Zimmerman has a big advantage in his case: his side of the story is the only side the police heard.

Over charging seems to be a pattern with Angela Corey. It's not just her. Corey offered a plea deal of three years, and when it was rejected Corey tried her best to get the woman convicted for 20, and an example to the others who might dare to reject a plea deal.

Well that’s just great. She’s in for 20 and the POS who brags about beating 4 of his 5 baby mamas is still free. Makes me recall why I liked that old show The Equalizer.

I’m not following why you’re saying “it’s not just her?” Corey is the prosecutor in all three cases.

NEVER fire a warning shot!! It wastes ammo and risks collateral damage. Exactly. With the cost of ammunition these days, I can't believe anyone would waste money on a warning shot.

Im not following why youre saying its not just her? I meant "It's not just Corey, lots of other prosecutors work the same way". When a prosecutor has a defendant she thinks will be easy to railroad into a conviction, she will go for it.
