Orangeburg County woman killed boyfriend in self-defense
Posted by Liberty On February 08, 2014 0 Comment
An Orangeburg County woman who fatally shot her boyfriend Sunday was acting in self-defense and won’t be charged, Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said Tuesday.
“Based on the evidence at the scene, autopsy results, and witness statements, this victim feared for her life during the physical assault she endured early Sunday morning,” Ravenell said in a statement. “This is an example of the domestic violence that is taking place in so many households in our county and we must work collectively to change this epidemic.”
South Carolina leads the nation in the number of deaths in domestic disputes. Usually the victim is the woman.
The boyfriend was identified as Jeremy Scott Williamson, 24, of Woodford. He was shot in a house on Woodford Road. Here’s what happened, according to investigators.
Williamson became enraged after looking in his girlfriend’s purse and finding papers where he was listed as a suspect for a crime in another jurisdiction. They started arguing, and he wouldn’t let her call her mother to come pick her up. She ran out in the yard but he dragged her back inside, where he hit her in the back of the head and threw her to the floor. Williamson’s grandfather came out of a bedroom and told his grandson to stop and get out of the house. Meanwhile, the woman found a handgun. Williamson charged at her, and she shot him in the abdomen.

What should be mandatory awards in cases like this are an NRA Marksmanship Medal, and a letter of commendation from the county District Attorney for saving the good folks thereabouts the costs of a trial.
She should also stop dating crooks.
But just think how many other women Douchebag won't be beating for the next 50 years, and how many other crimes he won't commit.

Guess how this statistic is counted in the "Guns in the home are more likely to kill a family member or friend than a criminal" argument.

Interesting online obit for ol' Jeremy; there's a revealing photo of a group there from which two have already been "plucked"....
