While pregnant, Marissa Alexander was battered by her husband. On August 1 2010, her premature baby girl, born nine days earlier, was in the Baptist South N.I.C.U. fighting for her life while Marissa fought for life in her own home against an attacker - her husband, and for this she received a 20-year sentence in May 2012. She was  sitting in the Lowell Annex Facility for Women in Ocala, Florida awaiting her second trial. Currently Marissa won her freedom and is back with her children, where she should have been left in the first place.
