I’m going to buy Blair a red shirt that says “Everlast” on it as a breakup gift.
Why don’t you try fighting a man you faggot little bitch. I bet you’d piss your pants.
drunk or just simple?
Why not both?
Is this about what Brad was saying as he (allegedly) assaulted Blair?
Is your last name Dover?
You Know darn well that it would be inappropriate for any Chief Executive to inject themselves into any individual criminal case. Obama made a fool of himself over the rather mild statements about Trayvon Martin.
The Good Ole Boy System, and GOBS goes across all parties. Just need to be in a power position to play.
They should replace the palmetto with Foghorn Leghorn.
Your understanding is not correct. Victim input is considered when deciding whether to allow a defendant into PTI, but the victim’s consent is not required.
Elected solicitors need to be held accountable at the polls for giving PTI to the perpetrators of violent crimes.
But, like the newspaper and TV sites, this site failed to name the solicitor who gave this guy a get-out-of-jail-free card.
We see the same problem with judges NEVER being named so that the people can keep track of what these people are doing so they can be held to account when they are up for re-appointment.
This is NOT just here in SC. It’s everywhere, just look at the crazy Iranian hostage taker in Australia out on bail for sexual assault and accessory to murder when he went into the Lindt’s store.
The problem is that judges and solicitors don’t seem to grasp the concept of what violence consists of.
Same with our Congressmen, our state legislators, governor, school boards, sheriffs, etc.
CDV is a waste of time and space. Assault is assault. Murder is murder. Theft is theft. Stop making shite up to satisfy the lemmings and enforce the laws on the books.
Waste of air.
SECTION 17-22-80. Recommendations of victim and law enforcement agency.
Prior to any person being admitted to a pretrial intervention program the victim, if any, of the crime for which the applicant is charged and the law enforcement agency employing the arresting officer shall be asked to comment in writing as to whether or not the applicant should be allowed to enter an intervention program. In each case involving admission to an intervention program, the solicitor or judge, if application is made to the court pursuant to Section 17-22-100, shall consider the recommendations of the law enforcement agency and the victim, if any, in making a decision.
SECTION 17-22-90. Agreements required of offender in program.
(4) in the event there is a victim of the crime, agree, in writing, to make restitution to the victim within a specified period of time and in an amount to be determined by the solicitor;
See that’s the thing. If you are charged with a violent crime, you are not eligible for PTI in S.C. But in S.C., first offense criminal domestic VIOLENCE is not a violent crime.
Wow. Did you happen to know that there is a legal definition for violent crimes (if I remember, 16-1-60/16-1-70)? Simple assault and battery isn’t a crime of violence either, and you can get PTI for it. Try doing a bit of reading before making kneejerk comments…
Violent crimes are defined, as stated above, by statute. No criminal domestic violence offenses are violent crimes EXCEPT Criminal Domestic Violence of a High and Aggravated Nature. The sentence range for that offense is one to ten years, and the one year cannot be suspended and must be served day-for-day (no parole or early release).
Assault and Battery in the first, second and third degree are likewise NOT violent offenses, but Assault and Battery of a High and Aggravated Nature IS a violent offense, but has no minimum penalty.
Because CDV is not a violent crime, it is eligible for PTI.
Republicans cemented their neurosis with the Norquist Hypocritical Oath.
What the heck is her problem? I beat my wife this afternoon because she was gonna cook pasta for dinner. I’m a man, darn it, and I need steak. She said my Wal-Mart job didn’t afford us steak. I told her, you hit the intersection by I-95 in Florence, hold up a sign, pick up an easy $10 and get me a sirlion. Maybe the problem over there at the Gov Mansion is the man ain’t in control. He better get with the program and put her in the right frame of mind.
