S.C. Judicial Discipline Reports Released Under New Transparency Rules
Dozens of complaints against South Carolina judges were dismissed — but for the first time, the public has a glimpse into how and why.

Why should complaints that are completely frivolous or have nothing to do with the ethics of the judge result in a judge being named publicly? That would just result in the judge’s name being drug through the mud for no reason when the person accusing them is generally the one in the wrong.
Which ones are frivolous?
I would love to know why former Judge Steven H. John was deemed unqualified!!
WE DEMAND TO KNOW WHY THE “DIS”HONORABLE STEVEN H. JOHN, FORMER 15TH CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE, HAS BEEN DEEMED UNQUALIFIED!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
“John was running unopposed in his reelection bid for his seat. His term ends July 1, 2022.”

WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT?
LET’S LOOK AT A SIMPLE REASON BASED ON FACTS, NOT JUST SPECULATION AND FRIVOLOUS ACCUSATIONS:
AFTER ALMOST 20 YEARS OR SO BEING A CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE, THE “DIS”HONORABLE STEVEN H. JOHN WAS RUNNING UNOPPOSED FOR ANOTHER TERM AS A 15TH CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE…….THEN, JOHN DROPS OUT OF THIS SOLO SURE TO BE VICTORIOUS RACE….
—————————————————————
WAIT! WHAT!?
—————————————————————
YES! UNOPPOSED, ALMOST 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE, PAINTING PORTRAIT HUNG UP IN HORRY COUNTY COURTROOM, AND NOW DEEMED UNQUALIFIED!
WHY ARE THE DETAILS OF THE UNQUALIFICATIONS OF THESE “PROMINENT” JUDGES NOT ALLOWED TO BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC?
-ACCORDING TO S.C., IF A JUDGE IS DEEMED UNQUALIFIED AND WITHDRAWS FROM THE ELECTION, THE REASON AND EVIDENCE WHY IS DESTROYED AND NOT ALLOWED TO BE RELEASED TO US “SIMPLER FOLKS”.
REALLY!? IS THIS ALL TRUE!?
YES! JUST GOOGLE: STEVEN H. JOHN HORRY COUNTY JUDGE DEEMED UNQUALIFIED.
STEVEN H. JOHN HAS SENTENCED SEVERAL DEFENDANTS TO MANY YEARS IN PRISON AND SOME WITH MULTIPLE LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE SENTENCES….
THE PUBLIC AND THOSE CONVICTED HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW AND DEMAND THE RELEASE OF THESE DETAILS STATING THE UNQUALIFICATION OF THE “DIS”HONORABLE STEVEN H. JOHN!
NOW I WILL GIVE MY OPINION:
WHILE WE ENTER INTO A BETTER FUTURE WITH JUDGES REPLACING OLD ONES, NEW RULES OF COURT AND NEW LAWS, WE WILL NEVER HAVE TRUE JUSTICE UNTIL THESE JUDGES THAT ARE DEEMED UNQUALIFIED ARE REVEALED WITH WHY THEY WERE DEEMED UNQUALIFIED!
Treat judges like the defendants are treated in the courtroom!
Every piece of evidence matters and is crucial when determining a judicial decision. Or is the S.C. Supreme Court only referring to “normal” civilians while judges themselves are immune to having to produce evidence regarding their personal matters like not being a judge anymore due to being deemed unqualified?
Or is public record of faults and mistakes only for those in a courtroom sitting at the defendant table?
We need changes within these courtrooms and judge secrecy SHOULD NOT be allowed when those judges can sentence people to a high number of years in prison and even life without parole!
