(6,324 posts)Folks who are putting her out there as some sort of victim are just showing their ignorance and willingness to jump on to any bandwagon that sounds good without understanding the facts of what they are supporting.
Look at the real facts.
She was on bail awaiting trial for domestic battery on her husband. She went to his home, where she didn't live- violation of the terms of her bail. She had a gun, in violation of the terms of her bail. She proceed to get into an argument with the man she was not legally supposed to have any contact with. She left the argument, got the gun she wasn't supposed to have, returned to the fight with him, and fired a "warning shot" at a wall that had children on the other side.
She then left the scene without ever reporting any of the incident to the police.
The story of that whole night is one of very stupid decisions and actions on her part. None of it is defensible.
And she was offered a plea agreement of 3 years and refused to take it, so when it only took a jury less only 12 minutes to find her guilty the case was so strong against her, then the states mandatory minimums meant to crack down on gun crime mandated her long sentence.
Is she really the cause you want to back? because it makes you look pretty foolish when you do.
