The verdict is completely justified.
The woman had every chance to leave the house, but instead; she went to her car to get a gun and got back inside. Her 'warning shot' was fired straight into a wall, very close to both her husband and her children.
And it's not about the fact that nobody was hurt; it's about the fact that she rolled the dice with that shot and sought the husband out. No danger; no need for a 'warning shot'.
"Thinking he was gone, she went to their former home to retrieve the rest of her clothes, family members said.
An argument ensued, and Alexander said she feared for her life when she went out to her vehicle and retrieved the gun she legally owned. She came back inside and ended up firing a shot into the wall, which ricocheted into the ceiling.
Gray testified that he saw Alexander point the gun at him and looked away before she fired the shot. He claims she was the aggressor, and he had begged her to put away the weapon."
The judge and jury did the right thing. State law did the rest.
