I agree. If she left then came back she was not in danger at that time, but 20 years is a little bit too much for this.I think 20 years is excessive but I think she deserved to be jailed, given the circumstances. She did leave and then come back with a gun, first of all, so she can't claim self-defense. Second, she fired with two children present.
ARTICLE said:The 20-year sentence was a mandatory minimum under Florida's "10-20-Life law," which mandates sentences for crimes involving a firearm, the Grio.com reported.
Depends on the source. I've seen a few that said she went back in for her keys.Guys she did not leave and come back. She went into the garage and tried to leave the house that way and could not get the door open. (At least according to the article I read) I don't think she should have fired in his direction while the kids were near him, but it still has self defense written all over it.
The 10-20-Life goes like:I am going to have to defer to the judge and jurys decision as I do not have enough information.
I found this interesting, this tells me this is not her first firearms conviction.
I agree, this would have kept her out of trouble with the law.love2hike said:....... I'm inclined to think she probably wasn't in any immediate danger. I think she should have left the house, went to the garage, got the gun, and called the law. Then, while she waited for the law to come arrest him, she would have had a means of self defense if he decided to attack her.........
