One of dozens of murder cases that have been delayed or dismissed by Spencer Merriweather's Mecklenburg District Attorney's office is that of Bailey Todd.
Todd was 21 when she according to police she murdered 22-year-old Josh Griffin. Griffin was killed on Pinewood Circle in Mint Hill around 4 a.m. on Sunday, June 23, 2019.
Police reports show a knife was used as the murder weapon.
Sean Harper, 23 of Halifax, VA, was also charged in Griffin’s death. Arrest warrants were issued for both Todd and Harper for first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and destruction of evidence.
Todd was initially arrested on July 19, 2019 and released on bail in January of 2020. On July 1, 2021 she was arrested on a felony probation violations and drug charges. She was previously convicted in 2018 on felony drug charges and given a suspended sentence, community service and probation. She will appear in court on drug charges and violating the terms of her probation on September 14th.
Three years later Todd now 24 still awaits trial on the First Degree Murder charge, which on December 8th was continued until March of next year.
Meanwhile Harper has remained behind bars since his arrest on July 1, 2019.
Now more than three years later the family of Josh Griffin waits for justice.
Joshua David "Boo" Griffin, Jr
May 18, 1997 ~ June 23, 2019 (age 22)
Perhaps like God's Grace - Justice Delaying is not Justice Denied? Bailey will appear in court on drug charges in January on 2023.
I’d stick it
