Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell share part three of their look into how the family of Scott Spivey was treated by the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office. In April 2024, Prosecutor Heather Weiss tried to explain why she felt there was “insufficient evidence” to charge North Myrtle Beach man Weldon Boyd and his friend Bradley Williams in Scott’s shooting death.
Why would Heather Weiss’ boss, Attorney General Alan Wilson, want to open the door to all-out vigilantism in South Carolina? Why would he want it to be legal for people to chase each other with guns and just be able to say the dead man started it with no meaningful investigation into that claim? Oh right. His brother Julian Wilson co-owns the private equity firm JJE Capital Holdings which owns the state’s biggest weapons and ammunition retailer: Palmetto State Armory.
How else can you explain why Alan’s office continues to sit on their hands and do NOTHING when it comes to taking another look into the appropriateness of criminal charges against Weldon and Bradley?
Also on the show, did Weldon Boyd … record a video of himself killing Scott Spivey? At that April 2024 meeting with prosecutor Heather Weiss, Scott’s family asked her if she was aware of this video. Surprise, surprise she wasn’t. And SLED Agent Nathan Poston assured the family that no such video existed … We are guessing he didn’t look at the evidence either.
Let’s dive in! 🥽🦈
