Judge Stone
Published on: March 9, 2026
In Union Springs, Alabama, Judge Mary Stone balances the demands of her family farm with her duties on the bench. Her life is upended when she presides over the most explosive case in the state's history: the trial of Dr. Bria Gaines, who is charged with a felony for performing an abortion on a thirteen-year-old girl.
As the trial gains national attention, Mary faces immense pressure from the governor, the district attorney, and a divided community to recuse herself. The stakes escalate from legal maneuvers to physical danger, including the firebombing of her home and the murder of a key witness. Despite the threats and the risk to her upcoming reelection, Mary refuses to buckle, determined to uphold the law and find justice in a case where ethics and legalities collide in a battle of life and death.
