Chacey Poynter made headlines in late 2018 after he bravely stepped forward to testify against Jimmy Rodgers, the man responsible for the brutal murder of his close friend and ex-girlfriend, April Pease. After months of enduring threats and intimidation, Chacey took a stand and was the key witness that helped assure conviction.

Now, Chacey’s story is being brought to light in the new documentary “Witness to Murder: The Chacey Poynter Story.” Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Anand Gandhi and produced by Oscar-nominated producer Julie Pacino, Witness to Murder follows Chacey as he relives the events leading up to April’s death and recounts how he found the courage to go up against her killer in court.

The film also highlights how justice can prevail even when people feel powerless due to money or influence, providing an inspiring message of hope for victims everywhere. Through powerful interviews with friends of April’s, legal experts, and key figures who worked on the case (including Chacey himself), Witness to Murder paints an honest yet uplifting portrait of a young man determined not only to seek justice but also closure for those affected by this heinous crime.

By exploring one man’s incredible journey for truth and redemption, Witness To Murder inspires us all to never give up — no matter how dire the circumstances may seem. We urge everyone who cares about justice for victims of violent crimes everywhere to watch this remarkable documentary about a true hero: Chacey Poynter.
