Ivanka Trump's new book, Women Who Work, has gotten mixed reviews. If you want to read a glowing one, you can head on over to the government-financed Voice of America. On this week's Full Frontal, Samantha Bee gave Ivanka's guide to "rules for success" the book-club treatment, and it isn't pretty.

Trump "writes about her struggles as the working mother of a beautiful 10-year-old lifestyle brand," Bee began, and "if there's one thing the author inherited from her dad besides, you know, absolutely everything it's his recipe for word salad." She played some clips of Trump speaking at various forums, repeating one word in particular. "Stop using 'architect' as a verb that's not how you language," Bee said. "Learn how to architect a sentence!"

Still, "if you're not a fan of Ivanka's prose, don't worry you won't find much of it in this book," she said. "Practically every word that isn't 'I,' 'Trump,' or 'architecting' is cribbed from BrainyQuotes.com, or another self-help book." This has landed Ivanka in some hot water. "Who could have anticipated that confining your research to internet memes would have a downside?" Bee asked, letting Whoopi Goldberg sigh over Ivanka's appropriation of a Toni Morrison quote. And "it takes a special kind of whiteness to take a Maya Angelou line about racism, mangle it, and apply it to asking for a raise," Bee said.

The examples of life challenges Trump cites, like turning down Anna Wintour's personal invitation for an internship, rubbed Bee the wrong way, too. "If you were raised working poor like I was, this book will inspire you," Bee said. "Specifically, it will inspire you to challenge the next rich woman you see to a broken beer bottle fight."

"Okay, look. Ivanka is smart, polished, and hard-working," Bee concluded. "I truly believe that if she hadn't been Donald Trump's daughter, she would have still been one of the more successful realtors in the southeast Tampa area. But her belief that she's a role model is laughable." Look, "if you want to pickle yourself in the vapid platitudes that didn't help her climb from the very top all the way to the terrifyingly, inappropriately influential," you can buy Women Who Work for $26, Bee said, or you can check it out for free at your local library and "help future borrowers by returning the dust jacket with a better book inside."

Who is protected by the Stand Your Ground law in the event of a shooting? WAAY 31 searched for answers on the heels of a deadly shooting Tuesday in Morgan County.

When you typically hear about the law coming into play, it usually involves two people. Those two people are usually the shooter and the victim.

But lawyers told WAAY 31 it could include a third party under the right circumstances.

Attorney Mark McDaniel said, according to Alabama law, if you choose to defend someone using deadly force, then you are only justified if that person is in grave danger.

"The word is reasonable," McDaniel said. "If you reasonably believe the other person is using or about to use unlawful, deadly force against you or a third person in your presence."

And if that isn't the case, then McDaniel said the shooter could end up in legal trouble and face serious charges.

"If somebody pulls a gun out and then somebody else pulls a gun out," McDaniel said. "Then the third person walks in and shoots the second person who pulled the gun out, then that's going to be called manslaughter."

Decatur Police told WAAY 31 several employees were at Eagle One during the altercation, but authorities couldn't say who actually witnessed the shooting besides the three people involved. However, officers did say the argument started inside of the business and led outside near the back of the building where Cazier was shot and killed.

Police could not confirm whether the shooter saw the altercation from beginning, but authorities did tell me they are continuing to gather evidence for a grand jury to decide the shooter's fate.

"And, the grand jury will certainly consider everything," McDaniel said.

So far, no charges have been filed against the shooter or the other employee involved. Decatur Police said once they complete the investigation, then it will take up to 90 days for a grand jury to look at the case and decide if the Stand Your Ground law applies.

TAMPA, Fla. - If signed by the Governor, Florida would become the first state to place the burden of proof in Stand Your Ground cases on the prosecution, instead of the defense.

Some fear this change will have a dangerous impact on domestic violence victims.

Mindy Murphy is C.E.O. of The Spring of Tampa Bay, a dedicated to preventing domestic violence and protecting victims.

"The reality is a domestic violence batterer or abuser has nothing to lose now by filing for a Stand Your Ground immunity claim," said Murphy.

Advocates warn the change in Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground self-defense law will have the unintended consequence of protecting abusers.

"It's going to be, potentially, a really great tool for an abuser to say 'hey, I was defending myself,'" said Murphy.

Murphy says that in many cases, victims are too frightened to come forward, taking a crucial piece of evidence away from the prosecution.

"Put her life at risk by testifying, then there's no way for the state to prove that it wasn't stand your ground."

Advocates want Gov. Rick Scott to help protect victims by vetoing the change.

"It happens behind closed doors and too often the only witness to the domestic violence is the perpetrator and the victim," said Murphy.

Lawmakers who support the change believe in strengthening the Stand Your Ground law is necessary because state prosecutors should always have to prove defendants acted outside the law, in any case.
