The conviction of Alexander, who is black, sparked outrage and cries of a racial double standard in light of the exoneration of George Zimmerman, a white Hispanic, for the death of Trayvon Martin, who was black. In particular, outrage aired on social media and among some lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

This really says it all. It has nothing to do with the fact her case was handled wrong but that another case people didnt like the (correct) outcome to. What does this say about our system, " hey, if you dont get the verdict you like then dont worry. Yoy will get another shot for no reason." Add in the fact that she drove to where her husband was staying, initiated the conflict (if im not confusing my stories) and she had a chance to get a max of 3 years with a deal.

The 20year min. is absolutely ridiculous law but that gives no excuse that she broke the law and needs to be punished for it. Also, she isnt the only one who suffers from the law either. Should we now give everyone a new trial who has suffered?

Absolutely disgusting
