I'm sure that her race had absolutely nothing to do with the charges, and lack of bail. Coram woman claims self-defense in fatal shooting of boyfriend
She had marks on her neck, from where she claimed he was strangling her. She called 911 after the shooting. The System™ in New York is still holding her without bail. Why? Because self-defense must be punished.
Prosecutors say that Guimont admitted to police that she shot Carter, and that she was acting in self-defense because he was strangling her.
"We know the level of trauma that Ms. Guimont experienced particularly prior to this incident," said attorney Michael Alber.
Alber says Guimont was a victim of ongoing domestic violence, and that she has marks on her face and a swollen neck from the physical confrontation before the shooting.
I hope NY respects her right to a speedy trial, though I doubt it will.
I don't know the truth of this situation. All I have to go on is what I have read in the media, which is not a lot. What little I have read makes this sound like self-defense. And self-defense is a human right.
