David worked as a clerk for the South Carolina Judiciary Committee under former Sen. Glenn McConnell, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Carr, and criminal lawyer Andrew Salvage III.
Prior to his death, he was embroiled in a small legal spat about evidence distribution in a drug trafficking case, in which David’s investigator disregarded certain laws by arranging to keep the evidence in a different room. The government filed an appeal for penalties against David, and Aylor, and the presiding judge offered remarks during a hearing. It was ruled a fraudulent public disclosure of sealed data by the authorities. The punishments were overturned when federal agents submitted another document stating that the regulations were not willfully breached.
