  Speaker 2: individuals in October of twenty twenty two. Although the Solicitor's
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: office has yet to comment on the rationale behind seeking

  Speaker 2: capital punishment, the gravity of the charges is clear. Drayton
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: is accused of murdering five people, including four who were
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: found dead at the scene in a home located in Inmate,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: roughly thirteen miles northwest of Spartanburg. The victims, identified as
