- A man charged with killing two people at a home in York County in 2019 pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity Thursday morning.
Jimar Frazier Neely was charged with murder in connection with the shooting deaths of Robin Thompson and Timothy Barber at a home on Rivercrest Road on June 7, 2019. Neely is also accused of firing shots at deputies who tried to pull him over later that day following a reported burglary at a home on Red River Road.
Neely faced multiple charges, including murder and attempted murder, in connection with the incident.
On Thursday, Neely pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His attorneys requested a bench trial, meaning the judge acted as the jury.
Neely’s case is now in the hands of the Department of Mental Health. During the trial, the judge, the prosecutor, and the victim’s family all said South Carolina needs more resources to deal with mental health.
“The mental health system in South Carolina over the 30 years that I’ve been in prosecution has really suffered some serious setbacks in terms of funding," Kevin Brackett, York County's 16th Circuit prosecutor, said.
