Summary

The life of Barry Todd, a decorated U.S. Army veteran, takes a shocking turn when a life-threatening confrontation led to charges of attempted murder. What began as an act of self-defense spiraled into a nightmare of legal battles, financial strain, and public scrutiny.

Barry takes us through the split-second decisions that changed everything — and the long road that followed. He opens up about the fear, confusion, and injustice that come when the system turns against someone who’s dedicated their life to service. This episode dives deep into Stand Your Ground laws, the role of prosecutors, and how media narratives can shape justice long before a trial ever begins.
