  1. Stop the injustice by allowing a retrial for Marissa Jackson!!! Her gun was registered, no one died so WHY is she facing imprisonment?

    2. The discrepancy of a law, again disfavors the African-American people. The system wants to ignore the acts of a white-hispanic man, but wants to keep behind bars a Black woman who was violated, and did not kill anyone!!!!

    3. Marissa was in court yesterday for a pre-sentencing hearing. The judge decided to move the hearing to next Monday, April 30. This will allow the defense the ability to present all of their arguments on why Marissa deserves another trial.

    4. The two cases you are discussing are not even slightly similar. The mandatory minimum sentence law should be the issue here. She was mad, wanted him out of her house, walked by escape routes and walked back into the situation and fired a shot. Definately not self defense or stand your ground. Zimmerman the so-called made up race of white hispanic, shot as he was being attacked and in the middle of an immediate struggle. Instead of answering a simple question Trayvon attacked and in self defense was shot. Zimmerman isn't white and the minimum mandatory sentence is the problem here, not race. The problem is everyone gets disgusted when you twist this to be about race.

      You're talking like a prosecutor. Marissa was not mad, she was assaulted in the bathroom. She tried to escape in her vehicle through the garage. When she couldn't leave through the garage, she had no choice but to re-enter the home. She never had the opportunity to make it another exit door. Her husband charged at her when she was at the kitchen door leading to the garage. She was never mad, she was scared. The arresting office said that. I never said this was about race, but I can't prevent people from having their own opinion.

  4. I guess if she had killed him, she would be free. What a bunch of bs.

  5. This is a perfect case for the Stand Your Ground Law if I ever heard one. She didn't even shoot this ideot, unlike Zimmerman. She needs to be set free immediately.

  6. We need to keep these stories in the public eye for justice to be served! God bless the family!

  7. More than just asking for justice, we need to start calling for these public officials' jobs! This makes no sense! Even when/if she is released, what about the damage done to her life because of this? I'm tired of the nonsense!

  8. I suggest that Mrs. Alexander follow the same route that Trayvon's attorney took. Contact MSNBC and share her story with them, I guarantee that several women's and civil rights organizations will get involved immediately.

  12. I'm sorry for what Marissa is going through and I pray for justice.

    I ask you all to keep us, especially my daughter, in your prayers. My 6 yr old daughter is a victim of sexual abuse by her father.

  13. I simply cannot believe this. If this story is accurate from this woman's viewpoint, this is beyond injustice. I just became aware if this tonight on Andersin Cooper and I hope this will do more than raise eyebrows. She didn't even harm a hair on his head! WTF?? I will stay on top of this story and pray for justice for Marissa.
