The small town of Eutawville, South Carolina, got a decision that many residents in New York City and Ferguson, Missouri, sought when a grand jury announced the criminal indictment of the town's white former police chief for the murder of an unarmed black man.
At a court hearing Thursday, Richard Combs, 38, the former chief and sole officer in the small town that has a population of just 300, was released after satisfying a $150,000 bond, according to WLTX. Combs is facing 30 years to life in prison if he's convicted for the murder of 54-year-old Bernard Bailey outside the Eutawville Police Department in May 2011. The two were engaged in an argument and scuffle over a traffic ticket previously issued to Bailey's daughter.
Combs' attorney, John O'Leary, has called the indictment against his client "wrong," after arguing that the prosecutor in the case, David Pascoe, leaned on national outrage toward law enforcement over the New York and Ferguson cases, according to The Associated Press.
"He's trying to make it racial because his timing is perfect," O'Leary argued. "He's got all the national issues going on, so they want to drag him in and say, look what a great community we are here, because we're going to put a police officer who was doing his job in jail for 30 years. That's wrong. That's completely wrong."
