Marissa Alexander who was abused by her husband while pregnant fired a warning shot at a wall to defend herself in her own home. The bullet didn’t hit anyone and Alexander didn’t harm anyone in any other manner. But the would-be victim – prosecuted by the same prosecutor as George Zimmerman – was told she should have run out of her home and that the “Stand Your Ground” law did not apply in her case. Alexander is serving 20 years in prison for the non-lethal and victimless action.
