Courtroom Drama Spotlights The Right To Stand Your Ground – A Cry For Justice

Ellaville, GA – No mother should have to
endure the ordeal that Jackie Carpenter and her family were put through
as a result of her son’s arrest after he accidentally shot a man
stealing from his worksite. And never in her wildest dreams could this
Georgia mom have known that she would become an author as a result of
this terrifying experience, that her two books would be made into an
award-winning movie, or that her son’s case would be considered
“textbook” in the annals of legal cases and be taught to future first
year law students!

Taking first place recently in the Alaska
International Film Festival, Stand Your Ground: A Cry For Justice by
Triple Horse Studios is the award-winning movie that tells the gripping
story of Jackie Carpenter’s quest to save her family. Jackie’s idyllic
life was frozen in time the day she heard her son was arrested for
felony murder when all he did was defend his worksite from constant
theft. Unfortunately, as he held the men at bay while waiting for the
police to arrive, his gun accidentally fired and one of the men died.
This is a movie that everyone needs to see because it shows how
something that happens in a split second can change a life forever.
While it has all the terror and tragedy of a blockbuster movie hit, this
one is real life!

Stand Your Ground, showing in select theaters
beginning January 17, 2014, tells the explosive story of the ten-month
trial and how Jackie Carpenter’s faith was tested to the max. The
trailer for the movie won Award of Excellence in the Best Short
Competition and Award of Merit in The Accolade Competition, and has been
nominated as Best Picture in the ICVM Crown Awards and entered in the
Gideon Film Festival! Please watch: acryforjusticemovie.com to see the exciting trailer.

Feeling
physically, mentally and emotionally ill through the first six months
of this ordeal resulted in Jackie questioning her faith. All this loving
mom knew was that she needed God on her side throughout the trial and
she prayed relentlessly, asking for strength and renewed faith. Once she
stopped doubting, courage replaced fear and she knew that God heard her
plea.

Jackie’s first book, The Bridge: Between Cell Block A and a
Miracle is Psalm 91 (Xulon Publishing) tells the traumatic events after
her son’s arrest and how she used the prayer of protection, Psalm 91,
to help face the turmoil of emotions raging through her and help her
find the strength to hold her family together. Her second book, Georgia
Justice, is a story of building faith. Jackie was able to overcome the
grips of doubt and depression and her book acts as a guide for anyone
wanting to renew and strengthen faith and hope on the road to ultimate
victory.

Jackie Carpenter has been a featured guest on
television, radio, and in newspaper articles. For information on Jackie
and her books, or the extraordinary movie that will have audiences
