Faith and the legal system collide in the courtroom drama taking place in the gripping movie, Stand Your Ground: A Cry For Justice, that portrays the gut-wrenching ordeal Jackie Carpenter and her family endured when her son was arrested for accidentally killing a man who was stealing from his worksite. While the family’s tragedy became a textbook case that made legal history, all Jackie could think of was saving her son’s life.
In a perverse twist of fate actress Lucy McBath, who plays the grieving mother of a deceased young man in this award-winning movie, lost her only son when he was gunned down at a gas station in Jacksonville, FL, just seven months after the movie was made. “While the movie represents the rightful use of the Stand Your Ground Law, Lucy’s son represents when it’s wrongfully used,” says Jackie Carpenter, mother of the young man who was on trial for his life in the movie.
