Yuma, AZ Author Publishes Autobiography

"Stand Your Ground", a new book by Barry D. Todd, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

In a gripping and deeply personal account, Barry D. Todd shares his life-altering experience with the U.S. criminal justice system following an act of self-defense that turned into a legal nightmare. In 2014, what began as a routine evening outside an Arizona restaurant ended with Todd facing charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault, despite acting in defense of his own life.

With no substantial evidence and a troubling lack of due process, Todd found himself incarcerated and forced to navigate a complex legal system that appeared to work against him at every turn. "Stand Your Ground" chronicles this powerful journey, highlighting the systemic flaws that can ensnare the wrongly accused and the emotional and financial toll it takes on individuals and families.

Through multiple grand jury hearings and tireless efforts by his legal team, Todd fought to clear his name. His story is one of resilience, courage, and an unwavering pursuit of justice. More than just a memoir, the book serves as a sobering commentary on critical issues within the justice system and a tribute to the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
