Stand Your Ground - Brittany Smith

October 13, 2026 · 47 min

Show notes

On January 16, 2018, Brittany Smith shot and killed 38-year-old Todd Smith inside her Stevenson, Alabama home. What followed was a complex legal battle that brought national attention to the intersection of sexual violence and "Stand Your Ground" laws. Though a sexual assault exam documented 33 injuries and Brittany had left a frantic note warning a gas station clerk hours before the shooting, a judge denied her immunity, leading to a controversial guilty plea and a split sentence without ever reaching a jury.
