Marissa Alexander: Immovable Object Meets Unstoppable Force

Our story has a villain.

While the American justice system allows trigger happy white men to give in to their paranoia,  Florida's in particular does that and allows draconian state attorneys to play judge and jury as they please.

As of this post, Marissa Alexander thankfully still remains on house arrest, close to her children. I wish I could say that's the end of the story, though. Like a modern day Inspector Javert, the State Attorney Angela B. Corey does everything she can to get Marissa Alexander back in Jail. After the appeal of the first trial, she fights Alexander's bond for house arrest, then in the letter to the Judge Daniel to revoke Alexander's home detention bond, Corey accuses her of violating parole. To push the Javert analogy further, her letter to the circuit court judge exposes so many unsubstantiated presumptions towards Alexander that she barely hides in her professional language.

Wow. "Hair Salon?" "Shopping Mall?" That's oddly specific.

Finally, Corey pushes a third retrial for a triple 20-year sentence--that's right, a 60-year sentence. For a woman who neither killed nor harmed anyone. After one appeal, and house arrest from the initial single 20 years of the first trial, this woman tries to up the ante.

However, it turns out that Corey has a history of overcharging defendants, including getting a 12 year old boy put in solitary in an adult prison, then threatening to sue the editorial reporter who criticized her for doing so. Angela Corey is not only Javert, but Zimmerman with a law degree and a vagina. A rotten, pus-filled vagina. (Let's see if I get an email for that one).

Like South Africa's Apartheid, the system in Florida is finally set so black people cannot properly protect themselves from any violence without receiving punishment. And Alexander is here to present that message.  Not on my watch.

Keep supporting Marissa's defense team and donate to the link below. They're going to need all the money they can get. Corey will make this a long trial.

Even Inspector Javert eventually confronted the reality regarding Jean ValJean and killed himself, unable to live with it. A creature like Corey will not (and may not be able to) do the same and can only be stopped by a third party, if so. In the rare chance she ever has her law license revoked, I wouldn't put it passed this woman to pick up a gun and follow her many male counterparts outside the law.
