Hey all. I havent posted to much here because I own a V-Rod. (Insert Harley Joke here). Anyways Ive cleared this with MC Mustang before Ive posted. I met him at Thunderbeach in Panama city. A fellow vrodforums member/sheriffs deputy began trail for a Murder Charge today. Could you guys keep him in your thoughts/prayers until he is cleared of his charge. Thanks and Ride Safe. Andy
Murder charge
Just a note to tell everyone here that my murder trial begins tomorrow so I will not be on the forum much this comming week. I wanted to say thanks to all of you - this forum has really helped keep my spirits and my mood up since finding it after Donna got her V-rod in April of this year. For those who may not be aware of my situation, on December 29, 2005, I was involved in a shooting incident while attempting to arrest a wanted, twice- convicted felon on two outstanding felony warrants. After fighting for over two minutes with the supsect (who made several grabs for my duty weapon), he was shot and killed. After a few days investigation by the SC Law Enforcement Division (with no attempt to get a statement from me other than the night of the shooting while I was in the emergency room and sedated), I was charged by the local Solicitor with voluntary mansalughter. Several months later I
was presented with an offer to plea to the same voluntary mansualughter charge, and told if I did not accept the plea my charge would be upgraded to murder. I did not accept the plea offerred and the Solicitor took the case back before the grand jury (which he claims in the local press that he did not do) and got the charge upgraded to murder. I have been very fortunate in that I have had the full support of the Darlington County Sheriffs Office, the SC Law Enforcement Officers Association, and numerous churches and others in the community. My attorneys feel we have a very strong case and I will finally get to tell what really happened that night. I hope to be back on the forum soon and thanks.
