USC Upstate police booked local attorney on third-degree assault and battery charge…

He’s also the baby daddy of one of the Greenville solicitors top lieutenants and both the baby mama and the Greenville solicitor used to work for the Spartanburg solicitor.
Watch the recording of the 2/16 Spartanburg County Council meeting. Abusaft offered to “meet outside” with one man, and when a woman said he was disrespectful for texting during the meeting, he responded that her “shorts are disrespectful”.
Same meeting, Abusaft stated that he didn’t see any of his constituents in the audience, then later clarified he didn’t he any black folks in the audience, therefore voters from his district weren’t there. Seemed pretty insulting, especially when blacks don’t even make up the biggest racial demographic in his district.
In the epically long meeting, Abusaft cut one presenter on a pretty low-priority issue short and asked to table his presentation for another time because he couldn’t focus anymore (after the FIOLT drama). Seemed weird he, and not the chariman, would do that, plus rude, especially considering they let the SCC president drone on about…absolutely nothing… for a very long time.
I wonder why Abusaft, and not the supposed council chairman, Manning Lynch, is always the one doing interviews with the media about…everything. Also, wondering why Lynch couldn’t keep track of procedures by the end of the four hour meeting, includingtrying to move an item through without it being voted on, but that’s another story.
Just so you know, Abusaft previously clerked for Pleicones at SC’s supreme court.
Otherwise, for a media outlet who is on new-found kick of championing the “impartial jury” part of the 6th Amendment, you are very happy to ignore the “speedy and public trial” the “confronted with the witnesses against him” part, the “compulsory process” part, and the rest of it.
You also are regularly happy to ignore the 8th Amendment wholesale.
And the presumption of innocence receives only lip-service, if any recognition at all, from y’all.
All you seem to want is hanging judges as soon as someone points a finger at a defendant.
And if the judge doesn’t hang the defendant upon your say-so, you want the judge him/herself hanged.
You can’t pick and choose from the Constitution. Respect all of it, or drop the act.
It’s all whitey’s fault.
His assault charge from last year was because a man tried to stop him from driving through his yard. Trees were blocking the road after Helene blew through and the victim set some trashcans up in his yard to keep people from driving through. Abusaft got in an argument with him and then hit him with a trash can then drove through the man’s yard. He can’t be bothered with turning around and going the long way.
