After fighting hard and serving more than 1,000 days in jail, Marissa Alexander will finally be free to go home and continue on with her life in January. And while it’s still not fair when you consider that Alexander should never have been thrown in jail in the first place, it’s much better than the possible 60 years she could have received if her trial was retried.
Alexander was sentenced to 20 years in 2012 for firing what she said was a ‘warning shot’ at then-husband Rico Gray after he abused her. The 20 years was a mandatory minimum as part of Florida’s 10-20-Life laws for crimes that involve firearms. She tried to use the ‘Stand Your Ground’ law as part of her defense, but it didn’t work for her case.
News reports state, as part of the plea deal, Alexander had to plead guilty to the three aggravated assault charges against her. She was also given three years in prison as part of that deal, which she has already served 1,030 days in jail. She will only have to do 65 days–hence her release on January 27.
According to First Coast News, Alexander will have to be under community control or house arrest following her release, but it wasn’t specified for how long. And if that wasn’t enough, it’s reported that one of the aggravated assault charges is still an ‘open plea,’ so at a hearing on January 27, she could be sentenced and made to return to jail for five years. But for now, she knows that she will be released and free by early next year.


"Mom, did you say that you were going to called DSS and take my nieces away from Jennifer?" That was the question I asked my mother. "What! Jennifer is lying! She always lied!", shout my mother through the phone. Without hesitation, I rammed my mother with reminders that she wasn't a loving or nurturing mother growing up and perhaps that is the reason why Jennifer and she always argue. But she needed to understand that it wasn't just Jennifer who had problems with her, it was me too. "Well, let me tell you about yourself mother....Read more at PREYing Narcissist!

Darren Wilson resigned from the Ferguson Police Department, his lawyer said Saturday, nearly four months after the white police officer’s fatal confrontation with the unarmed Michael Brown sparked protests across the USA.In a story published Saturday evening, Wilson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he resigned after the police department told him it had received threats of violence if he continued to work there.
His resignation is effective immediately, said one of his lawyers, Neil Bruntrager.
“I’m resigning of my own free will,” he told the newspaper in a phone interview. “I’m not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me.”The text of the letter:
I, Darren Wilson, hereby resign my commission as a police officer with the City of Ferguson effective immediately. I have been told that my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to wait until the grand jury made their decision before I officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of paramount importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal. I would like to thank all of my supporters and fellow officers throughout this process.Source



A St. Louis County grand jury has brought no criminal charges against Darren Wilson, a white police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teenager, more than three months ago in nearby Ferguson.
At a news conference, the St. Louis County prosecutor, Robert P. McCulloch, said that members of the grand jury deliberated for more than two days before finding that no probable cause existed to file charges against Officer Wilson.
The decision set off a new wave of anger among hundreds who gathered outside the Ferguson Police Department. Police in riot gear stood in a line as demonstrators chanted and threw signs and other objects toward them as the news spread. One woman said: “The system failed us again.”

SourceMr. Brown’s family issued a statement expressing sadness but calling for peaceful protest and a campaign for body cameras on police officers nationwide. “We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions,” the statement said. “While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen.”
