Being a woman of faith, Jackie Carpenter thought her belief would easily overcome any obstacles life put in her way. She was wrong. It was when she needed her faith more than any other time in her life that she realized it did not even begin to measure up! Scheduled for release in the fall, A Cry for Justice by Triple Horse Studios is a poignant yet riveting movie that tells the true story of this loving mother’s nightmarish ordeal after her son is arrested for an accidental shooting and charged with felony murder.
Jackie Carpenter’s life changed in an instant when her phone rang on that unforgettable day in 2008. She never thought for a minute it could be something bad – why would she? Up to that point, Jackie’s life had been near-perfect. Nothing could have prepared her for what her daughter-in-law’s frantic voice brought forth. Her son had accidentally shot and killed a would-be thief while protecting his property and the police had arrested him. Jackie had no clue of the difficult journey ahead; not just in proving her son’s innocence but to restore her wavering faith.
