as posted by the channel

Let's watch the sentencing of Christopher Dontell together; he faces up to 20 years in prison for his role in Gregory Rice's murder.

Case Background: Gregory Rice was last seen alive on October 2nd, 2020. Meagan Jackson, his ex, reported him missing on October 5th, 2020. His body was discovered on November 8, 2020, in the Little Pee Dee River near Pitts Landing off Highway 378, at the Horry/Marion County line. Gregory Rice was wrapped in a tarp, secured with zip ties, weighed down by a cinder block, and had been shot multiple times. Meagan and Gregory were in a long-term relationship, sharing four children, but had separated in 2019. At the time of the murder, Meagan was involved in an affair with Christopher Dontell, a former Horry County deputy coroner.

Meagan Jackson was convicted of Gregory's murder on June 17th, 2025 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on the same day. Christopher Dontell, initially charged with murder, pleaded guilty on December 4th, 2024, to accessory after the fact and criminal conspiracy to commit murder. In his plea deal, murder and kidnapping charges were dropped, and he agreed to testify against Jackson; he faces up to 20 years in prison.
