"Corey says she believes Alexander aimed the gun at the man and his two sons, and the bullet she fired could have ricocheted and hit any of them."
so she was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, sounds fair to me
"A judge threw out Alexander's "stand your ground" self-defense claim, noting that she could have run out of the house to escape her husband but instead got the gun and went back inside. Alexander rejected a plea deal that would have resulted in a three-year prison sentence and chose to go to trial. A jury deliberated 12 minutes before convicting her."
seriously boobz do you even read these articles?
boobz you do realize different states have different laws right
besides this seems like tough punishment on a very minor gun crime so doesnt this go against our stereotype of being a bunch of gun toting crazies or w/e????????????
she will be paroled within a few years anyways nobody ever serves a full sentence
I think it's a totally fair sentence. She's trying to claim self defense, but the bitch entered his house, left, went to her car to get her gun, then came back inside and took a shot at the guy and his son. If I was the prosecutor I would have charged her with attempted murder.
nobody who takes gun ownership seriously fires a warning shot
A judge threw out Alexander's "stand your ground" self-defense claim, noting that she could have run out of the house to escape her husband but instead got the gun and went back inside.
that's a 3rd degree murder if they'd been shot and killed
yeah, I could maybe buy the warning shot excuse if it happened in the heat of the moment, but it clearly wasn't. She claims she believed her life was in danger, so she went to her car, and instead of driving away she got her gun and went back inside. It's pretty obvious she wanted to escalate the situation and maybe even shoot someone.Quote:

if you fire a warning shot in the direction of the person you're warning, that should at least be attempted murder
juries have seen too many movies where a bullet bounces off of 15 concrete walls before flying through the bad guy's skull
ok maybe some ape doesn't actually understand what guns do and it can be shown that they don't understand an attempt much less a murder, ook ook
normally though when an animal threatens a human it has to be put down on the spot and i guess that didn't happen did it
theres that one vid of a 50cal richochet coming back 500 yards and hitting his earmuffs heh
weeerrrrrrrrrrraaaaaa ting
because it's all about making hits, right?Quote:
