This is why South Carolina needs statutes of limitations on all crimes. This happened over thirty years ago. Absent saved clothing like Lewenski had, what possible evidence could exist, today? If it wasn’t important (to the victim) enough to report it when it happened of after attaining adulthood, it really is not important now. Why waste police and court time on ancient history?
We do NOT need limitations. In your feeble mind homicide and murder charges must be had in 2 to 4 years.
Good grief!
perhaps the victim was scared, and intimidated from reporting. There are lots of reasons for delay not to mention the reporting and arrest in 2023 and adjudication in 2026.
He probably donated to Cindy Cricks campaign for solicitor. Fits needs to check on that and see if any of his employees donated for him so his name wouldn’t be on it
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.
Where your short purpose hangs, its all bunched up due to a length issue.
SC does need statutes of limitations on almost all crimes. Not to lessen the crime that Mr. Gilstrap was “kind of” convicted of but it is almost impossible to reconstruct what happened, rely on witness memory and produce evidence from 30 years ago.While not casting any doubt on the accuser, I don’t think that we can expect that justice and the truth be served in this type of situation.
