They both have joint custody. Ms. Alexander is not completely off the hook. She has another sentencing hearing on 1/27. It's all in the article linked in the OP.

They had to get the last dig in by not letting her free for the holidays. A completely innocent woman who should have never been convicted in the first place.

Angela Corey needs to change places with Ms. Alexander. Then I'd say let that particular woman stay in jail, but not Ms. Alexander. She should be freed with time served, her record expunged if at all possible.

What an injustice this was. Poor woman, I'm glad she will finally be released.


I agree! I just wish it could be before the Holidays!

This is outrageous! Angela Corey seems more the criminal, not Marissa Alexander! I get so sick of the "blaming the victim" mentality where women are concerned. He admitted to hitting four of the five women he was engaged to, and this Corey woman doesn't see her as the wronged party? SMDH

Such good news!

I totally agree that she should never have spent a single day in jail.
