This isn't even close to just flipping around an identical story. If Zimmerman had gone back to his car, grabbed a gun, then shot at Trayvon while not being attacked (which it sounds like this woman did to her ex), he would have been convicted. The sentence is way, way too harsh due to the mandatory sentencing law, but it's not even close to an identical story... not remotely.
Taken from the CBS News story:
"Alexander pushed past Gray and went into the garage where she got her gun from her car's glove compartment.
Gray told prosecutors in the deposition that Alexander came back into the house holding the weapon and told him to leave. He refused, and what happened next is somewhat unclear. In his deposition, Gray said "she shot in the air one time," prompting him and the children to run out the front door. But when Gray called 911 the day of the incident, he said "she aimed the gun at us and she shot." "
They were arguing, she went PAST HIM into the garage and got her gun, CAME BACK INSIDE and shot it near him WHILE HE HAD THE KIDS!!!! How in the everloving hell is this even close to the Zimmerman story? People are REAAAAALY reaching for straws, apparently.
