A Perry County woman was sentenced to 30 years in prison Monday for shooting at an Alabama State Trooper.

Janice Ford Green was found guilty of attempted murder in December 2014.

Green was sentenced by First Judicial Circuit Judge C. Robert Montgomery, a special appointed judge, the Dallas County Courthouse Monday, according to Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson.

After serving her 30-year sentence, Green will serve another sentence of 78 months for possession of a firearm by a felon.

“Anyone who threatens or attempts to harm a law enforcement officer must face a severe penalty. I am pleased that this defendant has been convicted and was ordered to serve 30 years in prison for her crime,” said Attorney General Luther Strange in a statement Monday.

“Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to protect their fellow citizens, as did the state troopers who served the warrant upon this woman.”

Green was arrested after firing a shot from a high-powered, scoped bolt-action rifle at an Alabama State Trooper Tactical Team in April 2013, according to the attorney general’s office.

The team of troopers was serving a warrant for Green’s arrest in relation to an investigation that Green allegedly plotted to kill a Fourth Judicial Circuit Judge and a special agent of the attorney general’s office.

According to a release from Strange’s office, Green told officers, “If I knew how to work that gun, I would have shot y’all up,” after she was arrested.

Green and her mother, Marie Billingsley, were both charged for two separate plots to kill the judge and special agent.

Billingsley pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of conspiracy to commit assault, and Green was found not guilty after a witness changed his testimony in the case.

Marcus Coleman, the president and founder of Save OurSelves, an Atlanta based civil rights organization, commented on Green’s sentence Tuesday.

“I think it is asinine. I think it is egregious. I think it is a form of brutality,” Coleman said.

“This is a charge that she was successful against in federal court. She is being tried twice, but I think it is the most egregious act of justice for a woman to get that kind of time considering she successfully beat that charge at a higher jurisdictional court.

Coleman said the next step in Green’s case is to file an appeal.

“The strategy has always been that she will fight this with an appeal, and that is what we are working diligently on right now,” Coleman said. “We’re securing the best team that would give her a higher success rate as it relates to her appeal.”
