Women’s Organization Asks State Attorney Angela Corey to Resign
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -
The National Organization for Women announced Monday it is pushing for State Attorney Angela Corey’s resignation over the case of Marissa Alexander.
Corey has arguably been right in the middle of some controversial court cases. The cases range from the George Zimmerman trial, to the Michael Dunn trial and now to the case of Alexander.
Alexander is facing up to 60 years in prison for shooting toward her estranged husband, which supporters of Alexander said was in self-defense.Rod Sullivan teaches law at the Florida Coastal School of Law and doesn’t think the publicity will make Corey stand down.
“I don’t think it will have any impact at all,” said Sullivan. “Angela Corey has been in her position for years and I think she’s immune from that sort of public pressure.”
