Why did it happen to Ronald Thompson?
Unlike for Marissa Alexander, there have been no public rallies or elected officials protesting Ronald Thompson being sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing what could be described as a warning shot.
Thompson is a fully disabled Army veteran of 14 years with, among other ailments, diabetes, heart disease and severe vision problems.

Angela Corey is prosecuting self defense and getting convictions, I think in an effort to overturn SYG or make it of no effect. She was the prosector in this case as well.
I believe Thompson has a new trial coming courtesy of bad jury instructions.
