TSP #108 - Clocking That Tea: Unmasking the Spivey Case Lies Told By The Attorney General’s Office

from True Sunlight · host LUNASHARK

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell can’t wrap their heads around the patchwork logic behind the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office’s decision not to file charges against North Myrtle Beach businessman Weldon Boyd and his friend, Bradley Williams — the two men responsible for killing 33-year-old Scott Spivey in September 2023. And there’s a reason why Mandy and Liz can’t grasp it … it’s because the so-called logic is absurd.  In April 2024, assistant attorney general Heather Weiss met with Scott’s family — including his mother, Deborah, and his sister, Jennifer Spivey Foley — to explain her reasoning in deciding against pursuing a criminal case against Weldon and Bradley.  The meeting exposed just how little Heather Weiss understood the case — specifically the evidence that she appears not to have taken a look at…In today’s episode, Mandy and Liz take a closer look at what went down at that meeting and why the Attorney General’s Office seemed to do its very best to find a nice and soft landing spot for Weldon and his friend.  Let’s dive in! 🥽🦈 Episode References “Hampton Co. community walks to bring awareness to Stephen Smith cold case, searches for answers” - WTOC, July 12, 2025 📰 “Attorneys discuss admissible evidence, testimony ahead of Camp Swamp Road shooting hearing” - ABC4 News, July 10, 2025 📰 Sunlight on Scott Spivey Spotify Playlist 🎧 Citizen’s Guide to FOIA - South Carolina Press Association ℹ️ “Gun Ownership in America” - RAND Corp ℹ️ South Carolina’s Code of Laws: Citizen’s Arrest and Protection of Persons and Property Act (Stand Your Ground/Castle Doctrine) ⚖️ Referenced Episodes: TSP ⁠102⁠ & ⁠106⁠ 🎧 Premium Resources Order for Independent Exam of Biological Samples - July 15, 2025⁠ 📄 ⁠AG Office’s letter to SLED declining to prosecute Weldon Boyd - April 3, 2024⁠ 📄 ⁠Jimmy Richardson’s Letter to AG Office - Sept 15, 2023⁠ 📄 ⁠Case Law around “Stand Your Ground”⁠ ⚖️ Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about Premium Membership at ⁠lunashark.supercast.com⁠ to get more Premium bonus episodes like the Corruption Watchlist, Girl Talk, and Soundbites that help you 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.

Wisdom's Proof JesusLifeTogether In a world of religion, ritual, hierarchy, control, money, marketing, and more flavors than 10,000 Baskin Robbins — how can we know what is Right and True? Some just give up. Bad move. JESUS LIVES and REIGNS! Some simply "go along to get along" to conform to culture and biological family. Really bad move, unless you are a lemming and don't care about the destiny someone else has chosen for you. But then JESUS, knowing this day would come, said, "By their fruit you shall know them" and "Wisdom is PROVED RIGHT by all her CHILDREN." Luke 7:35 Find some random offspring from whatever you wish you knew more about, look carefully at the second generation, and see if the gates of Hell are prevailing — as they would in a "mere words" and "mere ceremonies" attendance-based religious organization. OR, is satan getting busted in the mouth by that second generation? What is the fruit and the quality of LIVES of the children - once they can make their own choices? Then you'll Know. Wisdom is PROVED
