Duval County State Attorney Angela Corey can’t catch a break. She caught flack on all sides for her somewhat non-hasty decision to put the cuffs on murdering ‘watchman’ George Zimmerman and now she’s on the hot seat over the sentencing of Marissa Alexander, a chick who claimed her estranged husband regularly kicked her ass, which she says required her to fire a warning shot at him–and his two young kids; Alexander was socked with a whopping 20 year sentence for her her pistol poppin’. That’s a lot of time and a lot of folks ain’t happy.

Now, on the real, Alexander was dead wrong for poppin’ pistols near the kiddies. But I’m not sure 20 years of forced cunnilingus and late-night penal salad tossings is what you might wanna call justice.

To her defense, Angela Corey says Marissa turned down a 3 year plea bargain which, if true, is pretty stupid as hell.

But its curious that Angela Corey keeps getting tossed into the mix when racial injustice is part of the discussion in Florida, isn’t it? But maybe its not so coincidental since Jacksonville’s criminal justice system has been known to drop the hammer on its Black residents–especially young Black men, who have been said to be 5 times more likely to earn jail time in ole Duval than their White male counterparts.

Angela is no beauty queen but I don’t know if Angie is a racist or not. I was unable to find any reports of her leaving burning crosses in anybody’s yard.

But I’m starting to think maybe Angela Corey is not the ideal candidate to be seeking justice for murder victim Trayvon Martin.

What do you think? Was 20 years the right or wrong call–and what do you think about Angela Corey?
