Now, the Spivey's lawyer gets to cross-examine Weldon Boyd.
Mark Tinsley zeroes in on Boyd's credibility.
He asks about the act like a victim note.
Tinsley plays some footage from Viscovi's body cam before the officer writes the note.
The court sees Boyd sitting on his trailer, talking on the phone.
In the video, Vescovi asked Boyd who was on the call.
Boyd was on the phone with his lawyer, Ken Moss.
And Boyd's earlier testimony, he said he was, quote, dumbfounded by the act like a victim note, that he had no idea why Vescovi would show it to him.
But Boyd skipped over the detail about the phone call with his lawyer.
Next, Tinsley moves on to another person who Boyd called after the shooting, Deputy Chief of the Horry County Police, Brandon Strickland.
In a call, Strickland had promised Boyd that he had, quote, the right people coming to Camp Swamp Road.
Tinsley plays a call from the following day.
Another big question about Boyd's story has to do with what was in his hands when the shootout started.
Was it his phone, as Boyd testified?
Or was it his gun, as Frank McMurrow testified?
Here, Tinsley plays a call between Boyd and his mother from two days after the shooting.
Next, Tinsley confronts Boyd about the calls he described as dark humor.
Tinsley plays a call between Boyd and Williams, where the two friends say that they should commemorate the killing.
After about an hour of questioning Boyd, Tinsley stops and looks up at Judge Griffith.
