THE CONFESSION | Mother sues sheriff she claims lied to her in son's death investigation

THE CONFESSION | The mother of a McBee High School senior is suing the Darlington County Sheriff, accusing him of lying to her during her son's death investigation.
The county coroner sought charges for the boy's girlfriend after a polygraph in 2021. The coroner said that polygraph turned what the sheriff's office thought was a suicide into a criminal prosecution, which eventually resulted in a murder indictment.

    How DARE that Sheriff say that your reporting is putting justice at risk, and how dare that investigator accuse you of having some agenda to "erode trust in the Sheriff." They manage to do both of those things on their own, they don't need your help to fail to administer justice because of their obvious incompetence. Absolutely disgusting behavior from them all around.

Hell, his reporting is what's actually enabling justice in this case. It's the worst kind of deflection of responsibility on their part, they actually think they did nothing wrong. If I were a judge and someone showed this kind of a lack of remorse, I would give them the maximum sentence.

    The mother's instincts were correct. Had the Sheriff charged the girlfriend with murder, she would not have been convicted, not only because of destruction of crime scene evidence and no homicide investigation, but, because the specifics of the case do not meet the language of the statute for murder. It's totally outrageous that the Sheriff tried to make such a deal because he wanted to coverup his incompetence by excluding SLED (sp) who would have thoroughly investigated the dept.
