South Carolina ‘Stand Your Ground’ Drama: Evidence Battle Takes Center Stage

Boyd (and his buddy) are toast and much of the damage is self inflicted. AG Wilson polled other prosecutors before reaching both of his decisions (to give Boyd a pass and then to appoint a special prosecutor) the difference between the decisions is the amount of stupidity that we now know Boyd et al let out after the shooting and public pressure. Initially , Wilson was told by his advisors not to touch the case because it wa to muddy to win but Boyd hoisted himself on his own petard. HCPD is so bad that it needs to be burned to the ground and reformed as a “normal” police department after restoring the sheriff’s department with their traditional county wide duties.
