Discrepancies in the criminal justice system are on full display in Netflix's true-crime documentary "State of Alabama vs. Brittany Smith," which examines the factors surrounding Brittany Smith's 2020 trial for the murder of Todd Smith.
Brittany garnered national attention when she was charged with fatally shooting Todd in January 2018 but claimed that she did so in self-defense. After relentlessly fighting for a Stand Your Ground hearing, which would grant her immunity if she could prove that she believed she was in imminent danger when she pulled the trigger, she lost. If convicted, Brittany would've faced up to 25 years in prison for her crime, but that wasn't the end of her story.
Here are the true details behind "State of Alabama vs. Brittany Smith."

Netflix’s The State of Alabama vs Brittany Smith, a taut true-crime documentary from The Keepers director Ryan White, follows the distressing story of an Alabama mother who was charged with murdering a man she said raped her.
Smith’s case became the focus of an attention-grabbing New Yorker investigation, in part because Smith invoked a “stand your ground” defence. In over 30 US states, including Alabama, state law makes it legal to use lethal force to defend oneself against threats or even perceived threats. In this case, Smith was cornered in her own home by her assailant – an old acquaintance called Todd Smith – who told Smith he’d kill her if she called the police.
But her stand your ground defence failed. In fact, as journalist Elizabeth Flock, who serves as executive producer on the Netflix series, found, women are much less likely than men to successfully invoke “stand your...
