Florida woman DOES NOT kill her attacker, gets 20 years
- Thread starter smokinrav
- Start date
Well, sounds like they were both inside when she fired the warning shot.
But getting 20 years for making your ears nearly bleed or implied death threat doesn't compute. Something else has to be going on here.
But hey. It's freaking Florida. Could just be wanting to ensure other women folk dont "get uppity." <-- implied sarcasm about Southern ideology, just for clarity.
* Having had firearms discharge in tight enclosed spaces is beyond plain painful. Favorite BS part of movies is people talking in normal hushed tones after rapid fire inside or worse, in a car ... Always make me cringe inside on many levels.

So she should have left her own property where he not supposed to be (she has a restraining order) and was wrong for firing a warning shot because she didn't want him to hurt her AGAIN, yet wasn't willing to kill him in order to ensure that? Not really understanding the logic behind this one. She was in fear for her life, on her property, had been abused by this man before and had kids in the house. He doesn't sound like a victim to me. He sounds blessed she didn't shoot his worthless ass.

I thought there was more to the story too...so I looked it up. Apparently the conditions for the Stand Your Ground law are pretty vague and open to interpretation. The judge decided at his discretion that he felt she wasn't standing her ground, so she got hit up with attempted murder. And this still doesn't justify how someone can commit murder and get 15 years the day before her sentencing, and she hurt no one but got 20 years. Pedophiles get less time. There is no excuse for the justice system on this, except extreme incompetence and neglect of its citizens.

She wasn't with him, she had a restraining order. Maybe should read more carefully before being so quick to judge.
Why bother with printed facts - its much more fun to spew random condescending remarks that have no bearing on the story.

There are more facts. The press is spin for the Advertising-Lobby-Congress-News, Industrial Complex. Gotta get to the facts.
She left the house, came back in with the gun in her hand and fired in the direction of her child's bedroom. The rest it is stories and excuses from both sides. And it's become a political football, like everything else until this Fall.
- reckless endangerment of the child and from the bullet paths, attempted murder of the husband. 20 years in FL.

Ok look i didnt even have to read the whole thing. she fired WARNING shots! you cant fire warning shots lol you HAVE to try and shoot the person. to use that law you need to be so afraid you might be extremely hurt or die and you would have to attempt deadly force, not warning shots.

No, she claimed that. It does not fit the facts. It was an element of her case, that lost on the merits.
