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.

@@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice Trying to imagine a situation in which reporting, especially at Jody's level, on incompetence or corruption could possibly put justice at risk is nearly impossible. 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.

She'll get away with it anyway, the chain of evidence has been broken and none of it will be admissible... the judge will have no choice but to throw it out. The only way she gets convicted of anything is if her lawyer is a plebeian/moron, which will cause any conviction to be overturned due to ineffective counsel

Mr Barr, how dare you practice journalism? Aren’t you afraid of making your compatriots look/feel bad? It’s an absolute pleasure to watch your reporting-even though I live nowhere near SC. Thank you 👍🏽
I am amazed that Jody is able to continue to do these pieces and has not been harassed or intimidated into silence. This is real journalism- something that is all but a lost art in this country and in this state . I do find it interesting that he is doing this from a Charlotte news station which may be part of the reason they will even publish the pieces . Bravo to Jody , Bravo to Queen City news . Please continue your work at exposing negligence and or corruption wherever you find it !

Fantastic work, as always, Jody. You are a real American hero.
It should be handled in court and this officer should go to prison. Along with every other officer on this case
My local police departments also rule every death a suicide. I can never figure out if it’s laziness or clearance rate
Mr. Barr always does his reporting with honesty, openness and transparency . There is no other reporter i know that has come even close to the standard he has set. Every darn story i have seen him report on.. he ALWAYS gives the "other" party a chance to explain themselves or to just answer questions. Great work Mr. Barr keep doing it with class!

Thanks, Jody Barr 🕊 You are a talented investigative reporter!
*I'm surprised it wasn't **_the pigs_** that shot him.*
Our sons killers were not even charged as the woman involved worked as a dancer in the club that was owner by the investigating officer wife, she used to give him lap-dances and when he finally spoke to to her at the insistence of myself the first thing he told her was don't say a thing to me until you see a lawyer as this young man's parents really angry about his death. After 26 years I'm still angry and have no respect for the RCMP in Canada.
Thank you for investigating corrupt cops in and around your area. The level of corruption and incompetence you are exposing is beyond belief.
Jody is a National Treasure. Anytime Jody makes a public official uneasy, that means he’s on to something bad. This is one of the worst stories he’s uncovered. The pendarvis farm situation with all the Lies from SLED are one of the most egregious overreaching stories I’ve ever heard.
Ignorance to the law is no excuse
God bless that coroner for having the integrity and courage to go against the "blue line" and speak up.
Keep up the good work, Jody. Hold them accountable.
How could it be!? Citizens losing faith in Law Enforcement....... unbelievable!
Hey sheriff - if you fear accountability and transparency, you are NOT the good guy!!!
The same thing happened in Portland Oregon to my brother-in-law his girlfriend shot him in the police convinced him that he shot himself in the gut with a 45.
Many times the police/sheriff (or whomever) just want to close the case as quickly as they can so they get it "off the table"
To the mother take that cell phone and put it in a bank vault. You can put it in a different name.
I'd vote for this beautiful woman if she ran for sheriff she seems to be the right person for the job. A real human being who follows the evidence.
jody sticks with it!
Imagine cops lying and being incompetent.
get them jody. so many things wrong starting with a deputy calling "self inflected" GSW.
Respect for Jody
Once again, a great job Mr.Barr.
God bless you mom. So sorry for your loss but thank you for being dam strong. Due and win. In your sons name.
She'd better move.. That department won't forget and forgive her for exposing them. She'll end up in jail eventually.
Sounds like the Darlington County Sherriff's Office is as f---ed up as Hogan's goat.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I've had cops tell me straight to my face they don't care about domestic violence if it's perpetrated by a woman. In the 'justice' system, who you are matters far more than what you did.
Wow. Completely unacceptable. EVERY SINGLE PARENT (no matter your profession) OF ANY CHILD THATS PASSED AWAY DESERVES INVESTIGATION THATS NOT COMPROMISED. IF IT WAS RHE INVESTIGATORS CHILD WOULD SHE BE HAPPY WITH THE SAME TREATMENT? IF IT WAS A LEO CHILD-THEY WOUKD NEVER FAIL THE VICTIM AND VICS FAMILY THE WAY THEY HAVE THIS BOY; AND HIS MOTHER! All involved should never be allowed to work LE ever again. And this mother should be financially compensated for the UTTER DESPAIR AND ADDITIONAL PAIN AND SUFFERING TO HER during the grieving process. This shit is beyond tragic
Now we know why people like himself should never be allowed to be the person in charge.
This sheriff is as corrupt as they come and needs to be investigated for more serious crimes that he has committed 😮
I love how this dude is saying how things shouldn't have happened to the MOTHER! This is insane. I could do a better job.

I wish every single county in America had a Jody Barr!! I sure wish we had at least 1 of you here in the little county in East Tennessee that I live in, & all the surrounding counties as well! You’d have stories for years to come! Your investigative journalist skills are 2nd to none, & you’ve shown nothing but unbiased truth, honor, integrity & compassion in every story I’ve seen that you’ve done! It takes someone with GINORMOUS balls to investigate & expose judges, county officials & law enforcement & you’re doing an outstanding job! I’m sure the victims of those people who thought they were above the law have so much appreciation for you! I feel certain you’ve given those people hope & faith that someone out there does actually care & isn’t afraid to tell & expose the truth!
Mayes' self-pity is infuriating, too. Man, it irks me when people are incompetent and then act wounded when they're called out on it.
The USDOJ needs to institute contemporary policing & crime detection reforms! It is unacceptable that LEO’s on the public payroll aren’t held to far higher standards 🇺🇸

I hope that all officers involved in the cover up are held accountable in court and also they are find for the cover up. These cops should never be cops.
I totally understand her going after her going after the truth. My son died in 2016 from a disease. I still miss him.
This kinda gross negligence would have to be intentional and should be investigated for possible crimes by these clowns with badges
This goes much deeper this sheriff is a very corrupt man and had no business being a leader in this community
Jody is a hero, the sheriff is the menace to society
That sheriff should be in prison.
Don't you know it was intentional!
Sheriff should be charged with accessory
That coroner should run for sheriff!!!
Is the SCAG or SLED not acting on this? Hell the sled director just got a 70k raise he needs to be doing something!
This happened to my cousin 18 years ago this shit happens all the time, my cousins killer is still roaming around as a free man. Coroner said was impossible for him to shoot himself in the head at the trajectory where he was shot but sheriff dept still ruled it a suicide.
This sheriff is a liar and has no control over his deputies i really hope this lady wins a nice hefty chunk of change from corrupt police officers
Unfortunately, unless it was intentionally mishandled, you probably won't get far with a lawsuit for incompetence.
Sounds like there might be a connection between the investigator and the murderer..
This is why POLICE SHOULD BE TRAINED FIRST! The sheriff threw his staff under the bus without taking any responsibility!
Good job by the coroners office
What a Shame.
A man that's an expert in determining what happened to dead bodies tells police he doesn't believe someone committed suicide and the cops throw out his expert opinion. NEVERMIND that someone confessed to shooting him. Crazy.
How stupid could they be you lie about someone not working and they live in the same community i can't believe the lies that this sheriffs department has committed they need to be held accountable for their actions just because they didn't want to investigate this persons death. Wow what a slap in the face to the mother. If I was on the jury I would award this lady a 7 figure settlement
That is utterly crazy that, that poor woman had to lose her son and then become a police officer to investigate her own son's death
Sheriff was obviously hired at a job fair held at the Special Olimpics. 😊
Keep electing people based on race or gender, this is what you get, unqualified officials. Vote for the best person, period.
Jody ive lived in Seneca for 6 years, and you sir are one of SC"s biggest assets. The law "enforcement " idiots...i mean officers are about still stuck in the 90s. South Carolina NEEDS police reform
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.
WONDER WHAT THE GIRLFRIEND OFFERED THIS BUNCH OF LIAR COPS.
so how does getting money rectify this for the future?
Thank god for the coroner or justice would never have happened
A broken system.
