About this listen

 Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dive into the fight for justice for Scott Spivey, who was killed in a shooting incident in Horry County, SC, after allegedly being chased for nine miles. Scott's sister, Jennifer Spivey Foley, has emerged as a powerful force demanding accountability. Along with attorney Mark ‘The Tiger’ Tinsley, Jennifer's lawsuit has unearthed a "treasure trove of evidence" pointing to an allegedly "corrupt and inept investigation by Horry County Police" and a flawed review by SLED and the Attorney General's Office. Jennifer reveals how she discovered crucial audio recordings from evidence collected on the shooter Weldon Boyd's phone, which contradict the official narrative. You'll hear Jennifer's powerful and emotional speech before the Horry County Council, where she outlined the biased investigation, mishandling of evidence (including Scott's body), and challenged officials directly. We also share the chilling audio from Weldon's own phone where he boasts Scott was "terrified" during the chase. The episode explores the political response, including a letter from Horry County lawmakers asking the governor to intervene. We scrutinize State Representative William Bailey's decision not to sign this letter and examine disturbing recorded phone calls where Weldon Boyd discusses a potential "proclamation for bravery" allegedly crafted by his attorney Ken Moss and SC State Rep. Bailey. Bailey denies involvement, but his statements appear contradicted by the evidence. We also dissect the Horry County Police Department's press conference aimed at mitigating backlash. Chief Kris Leonhart's explanation of "improperly labeled videos" is obviously inadequate. More significantly, Chief Leonhart's claim that former Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland had "no action on scene" is directly countered by Strickland's own voice on tape admitting he was "working in the shadows" for Weldon Boyd the night of the shooting. Lots to cover, so let's dive in... 🥽🦈 Episode Resources Stay up-to-date and follow Mandy, Liz, and Beth on Facebook! 👀 “ACT LIKE A VICTIM - CAMERA” Note Video 🎞️ Horry County Council Meeting - May 6, 2025 🎞️ Horry County PD Press Conference - May 7, 2025 🎞️ Premium Links Scott Spivey Wrongful Death Lawsuit - June 3, 2024⁠ 📄 ⁠Motion to Compel in Wrongful Death Lawsuit - May 2, 2025⁠ 📄 ⁠Jimmy Richardson’s Letter to SC AG’s Office - Sept 15, 2023⁠ 📄 Referenced Episodes: COJ 128 & TSP 97 🎧 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ ⁠⁠Premium Members ⁠⁠also get access to ad-free listening, searchable case files, written articles with documents, case photos, episode videos and exclusive live experiences with our hosts on ⁠⁠lunasharkmedia.com⁠⁠ all in one place. ⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠ to learn more: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE⁠⁠. ⁠⁠Check out our LUNASHARK Merch 👕⁠⁠ What We're Buying...
