Captain Kelly Fired Amid Murdaugh Trial Fallout

Captain Ryan Kelly, former head of internal investigations for the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office and key player in high-profile cases like Alex Murdaugh’s, has been fired amid allegations of substandard performance and absenteeism. His termination followed a June fourth complaint, though exact reasons remain undisclosed. Kelly, who joined the sheriff’s office after leaving a prior state role voluntarily, was involved in major probes and testified in Murdaugh’s trial — now potentially complicating the upcoming retrial. No criminal charges have been filed against him, and the department hasn’t released further details on his dismissal. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
