“SLED reports was pulled from the device shows that the phone was activated on March 24 after a factory reset was conducted on March 23, effectively removing data from the device. SLED states that the phone was erased despite Bowman's knowledge that SLED was seeking search warrants for the device in question. SLED claims that this action impeded the investigation prompting Bowman's obstruction of justice charge.”
SLED announced Wednesday morning that three prominent Lowcountry businessmen Patrick Bryant, Eric Bowman and John Osborne have all been arrested on sexually related offenses early Wednesday morning. bit.ly/4AY59ye

💔 Heartbreaking. Atlanta teacher Hassan Kariem, 42, died after being ejected from the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia. Reports say he was riding with his son. My thoughts are with his family, especially his children, and everyone affected. 🎢 Roller coasters are OUT for me.
42-year-old Hassan Kariem, an Atlanta teacher, has been identified as the victim who fell to his death from a rollercoaster at Six Flags. Kariem was riding the Goliath rollercoaster with his son when he was flung from his seat. Kariem's wife and daughter reportedly watched from the ground. According to a witness, Kariem somehow came out of his seat and was hit by the rollercoaster multiple times before he plunged to the roof of a haunted house. "He hit a girl two rows in front of us on the Goliath ride right where the pictures are taken. His blood splattered over everybody, and his body fell behind one of the haunted attractions," said one woman on the ride. "You can see images of the person out of the seat. You can see him on the girl on her row," a rider said while speaking about the souvenir pictures. Goliath reaches top speeds of 70 mph and is Georgia's tallest rollercoaster. Six Flags has since shut down nine "gigacoasters" like Goliath throughout the country.

🚨⚖️ NEW: Murdaugh’s defense says grand jury secrecy cannot shield SLED’s 2023 records on alleged disposal of the murder weapons. New filings also seek DNA testing, ballistics comparisons and crime-scene scan data ahead of the Oct. 16 hearing. Full story coming soon on @fitsnews fitsnews.com/wp-content/uplo…

🚨 NEW MURDAUGH FILING: Defense wants full native extractions of Maggie & Paul’s phones. 📱 It says it doesn’t want a “shouting match” with the State—just the data its new expert needs. If provided before Oct. 16, the motion is moot.

Why now?
Replying to @SetonTucker
If the 2023 statement was not shared with the defense because it was deemed unreliable or insignificant, why did SLED and the State grand jury apparently continue investigating this same allegation years later?

🚨 BREAKING: Murdaugh defense says the State failed to disclose information about Yemassee Police Chief Gregory Alexander. Defense says it learned of the information from a newspaper. Did the State violate Brady and Giglio? New filing. 👀
