Slowly, South Carolina’s leadership and justice system is becoming akin to that of an underdeveloped African nation, or maybe Detroit.

How can you possibly know that, FITS? And does that go for Justice James, too? Justice James dissented from the court’s order; and his questioning of the parties during oral arguments leaves no doubt that Justice James’ dissent will be correct and will, some day, God willing, be upheld by a federal court.
Okay, FITS! You proved you can generate enough hysteria to intimidate three out of five state justices. But you could not do it where it really matters: the heart-beat ruling.
So, your so-called conservative payors should ask themselves what they are really getting for their money from you.

You must have listened to a different hearing than I did. It was abundantly clear that the order was a violation of state laws and our constitution as well.

I agree that James dissent is curious though he tends to come down on the liberal interpretation of just about every issue. Since he was originally appointed to fill Beatty’s slot when he became chief justice it has been said of him that he has to be careful when Beatty turns left or right for fear of having his neck broken since his nose if firmly up Beatty’s ass.

You cannot be serious and must not have watched the hearing at the Supreme Court.

Beatty is a moron and James is his co moron. Neither has the ability or intellect to be a judge they simply had friends in the legislature who put them there. They are the definition of incompetence

I am more than happy to continue my subscription to FITSNews for their independent and unbiased reporting of the corruption that exists within and amongst our so called legislators, the judicial system and the self serving cronies who alone benefit from it.

1) we get the fun of reading the posts from idiots like you. 2) it is instructive to read about polices in SC from the perspective of a person who had a roll in the hay with darling Nicki. I plan to renew my prescription to Fits.

Yet you could not do it where it really mattered: the hear-beat bill ruling.

It’s possible that this guy could go to another state and they refuse extradition based on the circumstance.

Keep dreaming, he will be back in a SC prison where he belongs or he will resist with a weapon and be killed. Both would be good outcomes

It is probably going to be a while before Jeroid is back in an SC prison. Since he is, by several accounts, a fairly major player in the Bloods, he is probably deeply embedded in South Central LA or some other Blood location. Odds are it is going to take time and a lot of law enforcement manpower and resources to locate him which equates into substantial tax dollars having to be used because of the bone-headed and maybe corrupt decision to let him go.

Three minutes of Chief Beatty’s opening remarks revealed him to be mentally and socially unfit for his office. And things only got worse from there.

This seems like a political play by the courts to bring fear into minds of the public about incarcerated men and women. There is a national trend for second look legislation and high profile cases like this create fear so that second look legislation is compared to cases like this one. Just another way for South Carolina to justify the tough on crime narrative, but they are the ones creating the problem.

You appear to be highly disassociated with reality. Do a little digging and you will find a few local articles a week, referencing yet another offender while out on bond whom has committed a violent crime. If you do not find that to be a problem, it is suggestive you don’t have much regard for protecting human life within our community. Judging by the above post, you not a big fan of personal accountability. You’d make a good defense attorney. If you’re good enough, perhaps you can get into the legislature and be appointed to the panel which appoints our judges. At that point, you’ve made it and can do whatever you want.
