To: Governor Ron DeSantis
Free Marissa Alexander. Stop Angela Corey.
Marissa Alexander is facing up to 60 years in prison for firing a warning shot in self-defense to stop her abusive husband. Now Florida State Attorney Angela Corey wants to send Marissa — a domestic violence survivor and Black mother of three — to prison for an additional 40 years.
Why is this important?
Angela Corey is known as the "killingest prosecutor," and her reputation of racial bias and overly harsh prosecutions speaks for itself. It's unacceptable. Florida Governor Rick Scott has the power to help us stop Corey. He has the authority to help free Marissa and suspend Corey for unjustly and excessively punishing her.
