Home For The Holidays: Marissa Alexander Released On Bail!

After rejecting a 3-year plea deal offered by Florida Special Prosecutor Angela Corey, Alexander was sentenced to 20 years to life in jail.

A  new bond hearing was initially scheduled for  Nov. 13 — because a judge ruled that there were errors in the jury instructions — but was pushed back to January 15, 2014

This unexpected release reunites Alexander with her children, one who was only months old when she was arrested.

In a statement released Thanksgiving morning, the Free Marissa Now Mobilization Campaign stated:

 ”Words cannot express the relief and joy of everyone in the Free Marissa Now Mobilization Campaign that Marissa Alexander is home with her family this Thanksgiving Day.”

“We are thrilled that Ms. Alexander will be able to prepare for her new trial amid the support and love of her children and family from whom she has been separated far too long.”

Alexander’s trial is scheduled to begin March 31, 2014.
