Do you know that crazy story about Jasmine Drake from Birmingham, Alabama? In 2021, she was in the news all over the place after her boyfriend Louis Bryant was shot.
She called 911 in a panic and said it was an accident — they were messing around with a gun and, boom, he blew it. But then, at the police station, she changed her mind.
She said that Louis was a complete idiot, that he was threatening her with a gun, and that she had to shoot him to save herself.
At first, the police didn’t believe her. Her story kept changing, so they charged her with manslaughter. She was jailed for five weeks and released on $100,000 bail.
Her lawyers worked hard, digging up things like photos, messages, and her son’s diary that showed Louis abusing her. They tried a stand your ground defense, but the judge said, “No.” The situation looked dire – until 2024.
Just before her trial, prosecutors had said, “Wait, we’re letting this go.” Louis’ family supported her, saying it was self-defense. Boom, the charges were dropped!
Where is Jasmine now?
She’s relaxing in Birmingham with her four children. She’s being careful, but she’s talking about rediscovering herself. After years with Louis, she felt trapped – she couldn’t even dress the way she wanted.
Now, she’s changing her style, feeling free. – She works at a car dealership and loves it! She used to sell insurance and also run lawn care gigs, but this new job is her passion. She’s also fighting to regain full custody of her children, after her brother took them away for a while.
Here’s a fun twist: Her neighbor, Sarah, says Jasmine has been baking cookies for the block lately. “She’s all about fresh starts,” Sarah told me last week. No one has seen this after all this chaos! A&E’s Accused: Guilty or Innocent? Episode “Killer Mom or Abusive Survivor?”
