Defense attorneys say a former solicitor reviewed disputed evidence months before Hughes’ murder trial — and shared his findings with the office prosecuting the case.

Regardless of the depravity of Ms Parcell, Hughes had no right to deprive her of her life. He admitted murdering Parcell. There is no doubt he did it – everything else is just so much eyewash and smoke and mirrors.
Judge Fant was absolutely correct in his ruling. Mello nor Hughes had any evidence of the child porn until after she was murdered. Allowing any testimony about would have been the same as the extraneous evidence of financial crimes that was allowed in the Murdaugh case. If they had evidence of Parcell’s crimes prior to the murder they have several lawful avenues to pursue. Mello simply wanted his daughter back by any means necessary and molded a weak minded fool to do his bidding. Hughes attorneys are grandstanders and using underhanded tactics to try and obfuscate the truth
