Rapist who was shot dead by victim who lost her 'Stand Your Ground' defense had a history of domestic abuse against multiple women - and was arrested 71 TIMES for drugs, DUI, shoplifting and assaults

[Mail] Todd Smith was 'an evil monster' who terrorized friends and family in his hometown for more than two decades before being shot dead by the woman he allegedly raped, DailyMail.com can reveal.

In a case that has drawn national attention, Brittany Smith, 32, (no relation) claims that Smith beat, strangled and raped her in her home in Stevenson, Alabama, in January 2018 and that she shot him as he attempted to murder her brother who had come to her aid.

Last week Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Jennifer Holt rejected the mother-of-four's attempt to have murder charges dismissed under the state's Stand Your Ground law.

That law states that a person no longer has 'a duty to retreat' and is justified in using deadly force if confronted with a similar imminent threat from an aggressor.

Now, as Brittany faces a murder trial and the possibility of life in prison, DailyMail.com has uncovered a disturbing history of violent crime and domestic assault committed by Smith against multiple women spanning decades.

#3 Lots of judges disapprove of the people defending themselves. That's a matter within their purview, and infringing on their turf is offensive.
