BLACK-ON-WHITE: BLACK proceedings but Judge Ned Miller said trial GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Opening statements are scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. in the trial of a man accused of killing a Greenville County deputy during a traffic stop in 2020. Ray Kelly faces 10 charges including murder, resisting arrest with assault, and drug trafficking. The solicitor’s office said Kelly is representing himself in court. He has had repeated outbursts to challenge the proceedings but Judge Ned Miller said the trial will continue. When the pretrial motions began, Kelly had to be hoisted into the courtroom and placed into his seat by officials. He told the judge “objects” to the proceedings and “will not have business” with the court-appointed public offender. Miller told Kelly, “It is to your benefit that you have an attorney to help you.” Circuit Public Defender for the 13th Judicial Circuit, Mindy Hervey Lipinski, was provided to serve him. After one of Kelly’s outbursts, Miller informed the defendant that his behavior could lead to Kelly being forced to wear a stun device and he could also be bound and gagged.
