WMBF News reports that HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - In the latest escalation of a high-profile Horry County road rage lawsuit, Weldon Boyd is now asking the judge overseeing the case to remove himself, claiming the judge may have discussed trading immunity for fabricated testimony.
Boyd filed a motion on June 9 asking Circuit Court Judge Eugene Griffith, Jr.
to recuse himself from the wrongful death lawsuit stemming from a deadly 2023 road rage shooting in Horry County.
Authorities said Boyd, the owner of Buoys on the Boulevard in North Myrtle Beach, shot and killed Scott Spivey along Camp Swamp Road in the Longs area following a road-rage incident in 2023.
Spivey’s family filed a lawsuit against Boyd and his friend, Kenneth “Bradley” Williams, in 2024.
The two claimed they shot in self-defense and sought immunity from the lawsuit under the stand-your-ground law.
