To the news about the Jacksonville woman who got 20 years for firing a warning shot over the head of a wife beater? Supposed to be big news here in Jacksonville. Was it on here or was I dreaming?

There was a thread here - but it seems to have been shut down. Here's the link that I have for that old thread:

Well, in any case, it is Jacksonville-related and it is newsworthy. In fact, Gov. Scott received a request today from the defence for a commutation of the 20-year sentence. a sentence that I think is ridiculous.

I agree with you on all counts. Don't know why the thread was shut down (probably got into a political fight - a black versus white thing - the original title of the thread was "Stand your ground law doesnt apply to Black people". Perhaps another thread that wasn't politically/racially charged might not have been shut down. Robyn

Saw on TV this evening, where Angela Cory put on a Dog and Pony show trying to explain why the story that the media presented was not based on facts. And that the defendant turned down a 3 year plea bargain deal. So it's all her own fault she got 20 years.

Unlike those who would like to paint this as a black/white thing I believe that justice in this country is more a rich/poor thing. If you can afford a highly skilled (and therefore expensive) defence lawyer you can beat just about any charge. If you can't afford a good lawyer you are screwed.
