He was speeding, running cars off the road, and threatening other drivers with a gun.

Boyd and Williams were just being good citizens by following him and calling 911.

But Tinsley says if Boyd chased Spivey, then it's reasonable to think that Spivey would have seen Boyd as the threat.

Tinsley says that the judge will hear evidence that Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams lack credibility.

With the opening statements concluded, it's now time to present evidence.

Boyd and Williams side, the defense, gets to go first.

The defense placed surveillance footage from Boardwalk Billy's, the bar where Scott Spivey had spent his afternoon on the day he died.

Spivey was at the bar for five hours.

He ordered some food, seven Miller Lights, and eight shots of Fireball cinnamon whiskey.

Though the video shows that some of those drinks were for other people.

Spivey then drove his black truck onto Highway 9.

The defense calls witnesses who were also on Highway 9.

They testified that they saw Spivey driving erratically and waving a gun.

From their perspective, it was Spivey who started the confrontation.

Then, the defense plays a 911 recording from a different witness on Highway 9.

She was the first person to call the police that day.

If you've heard earlier episodes, this call should be pretty familiar.

From the start of the police investigation, the witness account of Blaise Ward was crucial.

She said she saw everything.

She saw Spivey with a gun on the highway.
