Scott Spivey’s Death and the Prosecutorial Burden

I’ve actually had a conversation with the AG about this case. Prosecuting Boyd and Williams for murder is a non-starter, manslaughter at best. However, I think that the state has an obligation to pursue the charge. Had they kept going straight at Camp Swamp Road, this wouldn’t be anything more than a traffic incident.

However – and this is a big however, someone needs to go after the Horry County Police Department for all of the shenanigans in this case, beginning with the idiot 911 operator who should have to Boyd in no uncertain terms to back off – through the cop with the “act like a victim” post it to the “I’ve got your back” gang. HCPD needs to be broken up with the sheriff of the aptly named (w)Horr(e)y County taking responsibility for the hinterlands of the County. Having a county wide police department makes little to no sense when Dirty Myrtle has a PD as do Conway and North Myrtle.It’s the only county in the state set up like this.
