Why was my earlier comment regarding Gipson and Lott’s extended confinement without bail of an Asian American businessman in the Alvin S Glenn dungeon, deleted?

They did the right thing in getting Wilkins to look into it. One of a handful of honest Solicitors or former solicitors who will look at the facts and apply the law properly.

All Walt Wilkins is gonna do is run up a massive bill and then say whatever he thinks will help himself. If he has some axe to grind from when he was solicitor, he will use this opportunity to do so.

You must have some personal vendetta, what axe does he have to grind? Maybe his predecessor or his replacement does. Bob I can’t do anything without direction or Cindy the daughter in law of a convicted criminal

Duffie Stone needs to sweep around his own front door before thinking he is immune!

Would seem that if the General Assembly’s impeachment power does not extend to solicitors, then the removal on address option is available. Wonder why they don’t touch upon that.

Can’t start impeaching Solicitors for this type of conduct . Where would it end and who the hell would want to be a Sol under these circumstances ?

Maybe we should start impeaching SOL’s for securing to much jail time for a Defendant . Why don’t we put Rutherford in jail for negotiating the plea ?
Maybe we should force the Clerk in Murdough trial to do time with Murdaugh which convicted him after she interfered with the jury process ,

You are swinging the Bat of Blame against the wrong Ball . If you don’t see understand who to blame then you have no right to complain at all

If they didn’t impeach Barney Giese for his habitual drunkenness and dui arrest then why bother with this. A criminal investigation into Gipson, Rutherford and Manning would be a better route. The FBI could easily make a public corruption case on all three.
