The Journal.
Camp Swamp Road Ep. 6: Your Side, Their Side and the Truth

According to my reporting, the Spivey's legal team tried to make a deal with Bradley Williams.

In exchange for testifying against Boyd, the family said they would ask the judge to grant Williams immunity.

That means he would never risk being charged, never risk going to prison.

But instead of taking the deal, Williams takes the stand.

He was an active participant in the killing.

Yes, sir.
