Florida woman DOES NOT kill her attacker, gets 20 years

Ok, let me get this straight, Stand Your Ground in Fl. allows broad leeway to a citizen killing a person based on an actual threat or even a perceived threat. Seriously. So....if this woman had killed her husband she would have been good to go. But this is Florida. This is the South.
=============================
(CBS News) JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Florida woman who fired warning shots against her allegedly abusive husband has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville had said the state's "Stand Your Ground" law should apply to her because she was defending herself against her allegedly abusive husband when she fired warning shots inside her home in August 2010. She told police it was to escape a brutal beating by her husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order.
CBS Affiliate WETV reports that Circuit Court Judge James Daniel handed down the sentence Friday.

Under Florida's mandatory minimum sentencing requirements Alexander could receive a lesser sentence, even though she has never been in trouble with the law before. Judge Daniel said the law did not allow for extenuating or mitigating circumstances to reduce the sentence below the 20-year minimum.
"I really was crying in there," Marissa's 11-year-old daughter told WETV. "I didn't want to cry in court, but I just really feel hurt. I don't think this should have been happening."
Alexander was convicted of attempted murder after she rejected a plea deal for a three-year prison sentence. She said she did not believe she did anything wrong.

Her husband, Rico Gray, a man with a documented history of abuse including an assault on her while she was pregnant, threatened to kill her nine days after the birth of their daughter. This time, Marissa wasn’t going to put up with another beating. When threatened, she fired a warning shot into the ceiling to let Gray know that the abuse was over and he’d better think twice before coming after her again.

She was recently denied a new trial after appealing to the judge to reconsider her case based on Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law. The law states that the victim of a crime does not have to attempt to run for safety and can immediately retaliate in self-defense.
Alexander's attorney said she was clearly defending herself and should not have to spend the next two decades behind bars.
Alexander's case has drawn support from domestic abuse advocates - and comparison to the case of neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who has claimed a "Stand Your Ground" defense in his fatal shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.

What he said was no victim exists as there was no harm to body or property. Hence my comment on how racist abuse must therefore not be a crime as there can as such be no victim unless the abuse is physical to body or property.

If he meant something else, then he should have stated something else, not that that there is not a victim unless harm to body or property. Harm to the mind can be just as damaging as harm to the body. If someone fired a gun towards me, even if it wasn't at me directly, i would want to see them rot in hell for all eternity. If you're firing a gun even at a ceiling, it's either firing a gun for absolutely no reason, or firing a gun to say take another step and the next one goes through you.
