The David and Goliath battle escalates in the courtroom and court of public opinion. Local media becomes involved and spurred the community on even further. With the help of a tenacious news reporter and one gutsy attorney, they fought back in a very formidable might vs right fight. Can he prove that the Golden Rule still rules? Based on his true story.
