I like this guy already. I live in a state that has its own issues, thankfully this isn’t one of them. If the Murdaugh conviction gets overturned bc of his powerful lawyer-legislator attorney & said attorney has the power to later cause problems for new judge appointed to preside…a man who murdered his family in cold blood could potentially get off. That is horrifying. This monster & others like him can benefit under the current incestuous system in S.C. to the detriment of their victims & future victims. Unbelievable.

This infuriates me. Just the fact he said that it frustrates him that it wasn’t kept at bay is enough for me to say he should be voted out. He was right in the middle of that Bowen Turner case and it is sickening. He should have put Rutherford off when he was approached about it. This whole damn state is so corrupt. More news outlets need to put pressure on these guys who are delirious with power.

Any judge proven to have ruled against the rule of law should be removed. If suspected they did so for friend’s… investigated by authorities, and if found guilty …prosecuted

All my cases in SC were ruled against the rule of law…including my 50 million judgement awarded to the Murdaugh lawyers, former law partners of Alex Murdaugh.

In my defamation cases we caught two judges lying, who both claim they saw the law and evidence for my cases to proceed to trial.. neither Judge can provide this. What does this mean ?

Yes, judges’ being chosen by the state legislature sounds corrupt and incestuous, as Will says. I wonder what is the history of this travesty, whether there have been attempts at reform, and how/whether the SC populace at large cares about this. No doubt there is some “pretend” reason from many decades ago that it is done this way.
