On July 28, a new trial will commence for Marissa Alexander.

In the new trial, The office of State Attorney Angela Corey will seek three consecutive 20 year sentences. Assistant State Attorney Richard Mantei, the lead prosecutor in the case, says that the office is simply following the sentencing laws of the state of Florida.

Alexander was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted for three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Alexander fired what she claimed to be a warning shot at her husband in 2012, and was sentenced per Florida's mandatory minimums.
