It was Spivey who brought on the difficulty that led to his death.

Martin is wearing a pink tie and a matching pocket square.

He's comfortable in this courtroom.

It's kind of his second home.

Martin's known as the lion of the Horry County Bar.

He's defended stand-your-ground cases many times before in criminal court.

The defense team valued that expertise, so they brought Martin into the civil case.

Martin argues that Boyden Williams didn't chase Scott Spivey.

They only followed him so they could relay his location to police.

And when they got to Camp Swamp Road, Spivey's the one who shot first.

I look over at Weldon Boyd.

He's wearing a white collared shirt and a blue sport coat.

On his wrist is a two-tone stainless steel and gold Rolex.

He looks confident.

The plaintiff's side is next.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Mark Tinsley speaks on behalf of the Spivey family.

In his opening argument, he points to the calls that Boyd secretly recorded on his phone, the calls where he spoke candidly and made light of the shooting.

In those recordings, Boyd himself calls the pursuit of Scott Spivey a chase.

The Boyd and Williams side argues that Scott Spivey was a violent road rager.
