Subhash: Will Marissa Alexander Do 20 Years for Standing Her Ground Against an Abuser?
While Florida is still raw from the death of Trayvon Martin, a new incident of injustice may be unfolding a few hours away in Jacksonville, Florida, the home district of Angela Corey, the "special" prosecutor in Trayvon's case.
