High Court Denies Workers' Comp for Ex-Cop in Aiken Case
South Carolina Supreme Court rejects workers' compensation for Albert B. Shealy, an ex undercover narcotics agent from Aiken County, who claimed psychological injuries from gun incidents and death threats during 1992 duties. Court found insufficient proof the illness stemmed from job duties, noting his own stresses, firing, divorce, and bankruptcy. His condition worsened after termination when the deep cover program ended and death threats continued. He was later admitted to Baptist Medical Center for low mood and PTSD.
