Is there a statute where the sheriff can be recalled and another election take place?

Generally, no. Despite a push to introduce state wide recall voting,the measure was not allowed to appear on the ballot in 2012 and there is no current push to introduce “recall legislation”.

The American Party is promoting recall elections.
With Harrell, Ard, Ravenel, Eckstrom, the Peelers, Metts and the other corrupt Sheriffs, we are in desperate need of recall elections!

So, who is able to remove someone like this? He was sworn in in private, quickly after the event so he couldn’t be removed. Is there any recourse for these situations?

Once he’s convicted he’s gone. If he had any honor, he’d resign. Haley could then appoint an interim

Swati Patel?!? I thought he owed the “Deluxe Inn and Suites” in York, SC? Or was that Sweati Patel?

What parent would name their kid something like that?

It’s actually a fairly common Indian name (Indian as in from India).

I was just being a smart ass…

Swati Patel, for Sikhs or others from India, is no different from a name like Sarah Jones to the rest of us. “Sweati Patel” was a joke on the part of Colonel. Are you really so dense this has to be explained to you?

Had that government owned F-150 t-boned a kid on her way home from work and killed her the amount of that lawsuit would assure this Sheriff was removed from office. As for the prison time associated with wreckless homicide – he would never see the inside of the prison.

Now every deputy in Berkeley County will feel empowered to break any law they wish.

p.s. A Maudlin off-duty cop laid down a personal motorcycle yesterday afternoon. He paid with his life. An eyewitness, who at the time of the interview with the local news had no idea that the victim was a police officer, said that just before the wreck the guy was weaving in and out of traffic passing cars left and right at a high rate of speed.

It’s “Reckless Homicide”, not “wreckless”. What does the Mauldin Police Officer have to do with this article? Police officers have wrecks too!

Went to Wikipedia thinking I would find some old English Common law basis for ‘moral turpitude’. Surprisingly, it based in 19th century US immigration law. And, it is essentially the same general state definition as is quoted here..

There’s a great chart that provides more specificity. I wonder if ‘assault’ in the section on “Crimes Committed Against Person, Family Relationship, and Sexual Morality”, in regards to hitting the vehicle with occupant inside would apply? Or, ‘malicious injury to property’ in the ‘Crimes Against Property’ section?

Well, he did “rear-end” the car…

Her hands aren’t tied. She has to make decision, as Governor. It’s either. she will, or she won’t. If she decides not to, who the hell cares? But, Nikki’s hands are never tied, she does what the fck she wants to every time.
