Guest Column: South Carolina Must Close the Revolving Door of Justice
S.C. lieutenant governor Pamela Evette: “Fixing the system isn’t just about technology — it’s about accountability.”

The two female candidates for governor fly around over the deceased girl’s corpse, screeching like harpies in a 1960’s movie based on a character from ancient mythology, hoping to get their piece of the pie. Where will it all end?
Judicial election (and retention) reform has always been solely in the hands of the Legislature; absolutely nothing will change until it decides to act. Nothing any governor or AG can do will ever change that. I grow so tired of hearing governors and candidates claiming they are somehow going to bring about change. It makes me question their knowledge of our constitution.
And what about all the SC attorneys who outright and intentionally LIE either en camera or during hearings??What about attorneys who try to stop a person from suing. conspire with other to attempt to have a litigant jailed for filing lawsuits that are active and survived motions to dismiss and summary judgements? Oh hell yes they have done this. And they need to be in prison!
Amen, Catfish!
Well said, Catfish! She would never have commented if she were not a candidate! Never heard of her while Lt. Gov..
We must give our lawless men and women in law enforcement the punishments they deserve. Repeatedly catching the same law enforcement offenders is not only necessary, but is meaningless to just give them a secret warning. They must be punished for speeding without lights and sirens, making illegal turns, goofing off talking shit about people, etc,
Bottom line: the days of cops committing crimes and not serving the time in jail or prison must end in South Carolina. To do this, we need a justice system that is swift, firm, and fair with a total new batch of judges to replace all of the corrupt and lawless ones — with ones that actually OBEY the law and everyone’s civil and constitutional rights!
We need all new prosecutors who are willing to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, and prosecute judges who do not obey the law, who do NOT spit in the face of Supreme Ct rulings!
CLEAN OUT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.
What say you Cop Trolls?
The Federico case is hard to express how second chances in south carolina are important as well.
When someone is initially instituted in the system, Judges here balance what the offender needs to overcome the path they got on. It is important to serve that sentence and its up to that individual to work with the state and improve. Its extremely important to remember most judges here know the steps needed for rehabilitation. By doing better ultimately serves those unfortunate enough to bare the criminals name, showing change and remorse strengthens that family which strengthens South Carolinas family dynamic.
Thats the classic empathetic view of someone initially in trouble. Life happens.
But
Most repeat offenders start young and programs like the Delancey Street Foundation can turn a felon into a CEO. If there is no growth or show of change and they continue that behavior then its clear there is no spot in society for them. They also have consciously made the decision that prison is the home they are more familiar with, so yeah let them stay and not commit any more heinous crimes to go back to prison with as badges of honor taken from our innocent community.
