Judge Sentences FL Woman To Time Served: FL Lets Killer Cops Free, Jails Women Defending Themselves Against Abusers (Picture)
BREAKING: A judge has sentenced #MarissaAlexander to time served and two years on house arrest. We welcome Marissa home and celebrate her release from jail, while strongly condemning Florida’s disgraceful prosecution of Marissa in the first place and the fact that she remains under state control. #FreeMarissa #UntilMarissaIsFree
Marissa should have never been charged or incarcerated. But due to Prosecutor Angela Corey’s discriminatory and inhumane prosecution of Black Floridians, and a justice system that systematically criminalizes Black women for their own abuse, Marisa faced up to 60 years for defending her self against her violently abusive partner. This is not justice.
Take action today to help stop Corey, known as the “Florida’s killingest prosecutor” and her egregious targeting and prosecution of Black domestic violence survivors and Black folks swept into the justice system by racist policing practices. As long as Corey remains at her post, we can expect Florida’s criminal justice system to continue to fail. http://goo.gl/hFgGib
