Judge frees Aiken deputies in 1994 shooting case
Circuit Judge Thomas Ervin directed a verdict absolving Aiken County deputies in the 1994 death of Deborah Arthurs Munn. The two day wrongful death trial had claimed deputies failed to protect Arthurs Munn from her husband John Jacob Munn, who later killed himself after fleeing to Oklahoma. The judge ruled law enforcement cannot guarantee every outcome and officers may exercise discretionary calls.
