2:38Now PlayingIn Florida, State Attorney Angela Corey has been defeated in her reelection bid. Corey had faced widespread criticism for her handling of several prominent cases, including the killing of AfricanAmerican teenager Trayvon Martin by white neighborhood watch vigilante George Zimmerman and the case of Marissa Alexander, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing what she maintains was a warning shot at her abusive husband. For more, we speak with freelance journalist Victoria Law. Her recent piece for The Nation is "Why Is Marissa Alexander Still Being Punished for Fighting Back."
