Holy Crap … forget how widespread in the state … How bad is it in Florence County? I cannot believe it. Cathy Mogy is a wonderful person and it was devastating when Richard was killed. Just devastating.
Widespread, deep, constant
The lawyers are crooked, the judges are crooked, and we’re all at their mercy. And no one is doing anything about it–why would they? How many lawyers are actually in the state legislature (and in the US House & Senate)? They make the laws that allow them all to steal from all of us.
Florence County Magistrate Court & Circuit Court are the WORST. I have given up and have decided to move out of the state and stay as far away from the state as I can at this time. I will just pay the judgement against me given at Magistrate Court, when what was decided was based on when the attorney & witness committed perjury on the stand. The proof came a month after the trial but before my appeal was heard at the Court of Common Pleas in Florence County. I filed to have it included as evidence of perjury immediately after receiving the proof from another federal agency. The first trial was continued when their attorney called off the day of the trial, claiming a “family emergency” AFTER realizing, from the online record, I had submitted & filed the evidence to prove the perjury. The good news is that it is still part of the documented record. I had to call for a medical continuance on the rescheduled appeal trial, which was denied in what was now a SEALED online courtroom. My filed evidence was ignored and the judge signed a perjured written document submitted by the attorney and found against me. At the magistrate court, my trial files, including the taped trial, were taken home by the Judge. He took the following day off, so that I was unable to get a copy of the recorded trial until a few days after the trial took place because the tape and my file went HOME WITH HIM. My initial appeal had to be filed without receiving the recorded trial tapes. The trial tape recording came to me in 6 parts, missing various parts of the trial, including where I asked for a medical continuation. All of that information was deleted from the trial tapes. In a separate hearing on the same matter, I was refused those hearing tapes completely. I was unable to get another lawyer to help me in Florence County after my original attorney learned there was a conflict of interest. It is interesting to note that I called and spoke with the opposing attorney office in my search prior to them being revealed as the opposing parties attorney of record! I have proof of the phone calls.
Jen, great article and very informative; this is how crooked some lawyers in SC think and do. I hope the widow what her family deserves in getting her inheritance. The lawyers know the ins and outs of probate rules and set this up for themselves. What an eye-opening article. Stay tough and show us more that happens in this case.
Florence county seems to be crooked. What about William Timmons and Greenville count?
