Marissa Alexander, a 32-year-old African American mother of three, currently serving a 20-year jail sentence for firing a warning shot, without killing or injuring anyone, to scare off her husband (she had a restraining order against him, and he at one point admitted to abusing her). It’s a stark and troubling contrast: a woman was sentenced to twenty years for firing a gun without hitting anyone, while a man who fatally shot an unarmed teenager walks free.
