However, the DA in the case happened to be the same DA who had let that athlete go who beat up his wife, and it wouldn't look good to have let go a wife beater but prosecute a young single working black gun-owning mother who quite obviously by accident drove the gun into the state and didn't try to hide it or anything. Plus also she doesn't meet the stereotype of the gun owner that the leftists have (racist fat white guy).

I guess it's a good thing that she didn't live in Florida and fire a warning shot. Race doesn't always have everything to do with it. IMHO the spin doctors want folks to believe it, but that's not always the case.

Just check this out:

Marissa Alexander had never been arrested before she fired a bullet at a wall in 2010 when she felt her estranged husband was threatening her, a move she described as a “warning shot.” She had already filed a restraining order against him.

Nobody was hurt, but in May a northeast Florida judge was bound by state law to sentence her to 20 years in prison.

The 31-year-old mother of a toddler and 11-year-old twins, Alexander claimed self-defense and tried to invoke Florida’s “stand your ground” law, rejecting plea deals that could have gotten her a much shorter sentence. But a jury found her guilty as charged: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. And because she fired a gun while committing a felony, Florida’s mandatory-minimum gun law dictated the 20-year sentence.

State Attorney Angela Corey, who also oversaw the prosecution of shooter George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case, stands by the handling of Alexander’s case. She maintains the bullet could have ricocheted and hit Alexander’s children, and told the Huffington Post back in May she didn’t believe the woman fired the shot in fear, but in anger.
