Salvini is a joke, she’s a California born and educated extreme liberal and the sister in law of a prominent liberal democrat defense attorney. Letting a dangerous criminal murderer out on bond because she had a bad home life . Boohoo, Justice Clarence Thomas and VP Vance and thousands of others had much worse home life’s and didn’t murder people. The legislature continues to put judges like her on the bench who are DEI social justice warriors who care nothing about real justice and protecting the average law abiding citizens
This is an interesting comment since it seems to flame the judge for her political leanings (which I am not sure about – what is your source for her politics?). It would help us figure out whether you have a good point if you would let us know which factors under the United States and South Carolina Constitutions you believe warranted detention of a defendant until her trial. Also, which specific facts support those factors? And by facts, I mean the real ones proven by the proper standard of proof, not just whatever your feelings feel.
Should not be so ready to ascribe the judge’s ruling on a liberal vs conservative bias although unfortunately that’s the game we now are so willing to play. Apparently there are mitigating circumstances between the two ladies such that in Mimms situation it was determined she was not a “flight risk.” Granted, that’s subjective, but that’s what judges are for. Mimms’ alleged actions have not really been well-described by Fits News which would help readers understand more of her role. In fact Fits News on an earlier report indicated Mimms was the one that participated in procuring the shovel, whereas, this article only mentions Tripett’s action for that part.
Great article on a complex case. It’s interesting how the court balanced the situations of Mims and Tippett. Why do you think it took longer for the judge to decide on Tippett’s bond request? It seems like a challenging scenario for all involved.
This story is a bit of a reminder that each legal case is full of layers and personal histories. The support shown by the victim’s mother is quite unusual and notable for a legal proceeding. Thanks for covering this with depth and nuance.
