9. You mean aside from mis-presenting the facts in the Marissa Alexander case?

When I first heard about this case I was as outraged as everybody else, enough to do some research.

According to the state's case Marissa Alexander went to the house where her husband was living, thinking he wasn't home to get some clothes and other possessions. She pulled her car into the garage and closed the garage door. She encounters the husband with their two children. She then leaves the house, goes into the garage and re-enters the house and fires what the defense called a warning shot, which impacted at the same height as the husband. The husband called 911 on her.

1. Warning shots are illegal, first you either fear for your life or you do not. If you do not fear for your life, then you have no right to discharge the firearm. If you DO fear for your life, then you shoot the person attacking you. Additionally warning shots are usually considered reckless, because you do not know where the bullet is going to end up and your are responsible for that bullet. Meaning if you fire a warning shot and hits and kills a person walking down the street you are going to jail for manslaughter.

2. Alexander claimed that she went out to her car and tried to leave, but the garage door, which had worked just minutes before, would not open.

3. Alexander was offered a plea bargain that would have have seen face no additional jail time other then the time she had already served. Alexander and her attorney declined.
