When I first began reporting on the Scott Spivey case, Jennifer told me that all she wanted was someone who was independent to take a look at all the evidence.
If that person agreed with the Horry County Police, so be it.
She just wanted a fair hearing.
Today, there are two pathways.
Jennifer's wrongful death suit on the civil side and the special prosecutor's investigation on the criminal side.
Judge Griffith has set the immunity hearing for the week of February 17th, 2026.
As for the timing of the special prosecutor's investigation, we don't know what that will be.
But last week, Barnett's office told me that he's impaneled a grand jury.
We'll bring you more on the immunity hearing next year.
