Florida woman in ‘stand your ground’ case looks ahead

Marissa Alexander served a total of three years behind bars. She was released on Tuesday and spoke to CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” on Wednesday.

“I’m out now. I’m looking forward to the future,” she said. “It wasn’t easy, but I’m much stronger, and I am in a better place than I was so I’m just looking forward to moving forward.”

“I’ve been looking forward to just being able to close this book — not even a chapter — I want the book closed,” Alexander told CNN. “I just want a whole new book.”
