Why hasn’t Beatty put this guy on ice until his term ends? I guess they’re of the same mindset. Unqualified and lenient on the bad guys.

Marvin I agree with you. They can reassign cases to other courts. Leave his court empty for repairs and upgrades. Or give him cases that require only a fine (class c traffic). But sharks are not about to eat each other. But I could almost bet no good law firm wants a slacker on their team. This man is awful.

The SC Supreme Court could simply not assign him a docket from tomorrow until Friday, June 28, 2024 as his six year term officially ends on Sunday, June 30, 2024. Another option is to assign him to the farthest courthouse from his home for one day followed by travel to the farthest court the following day to preside over the SC equivalent of the dog catcher court. I am sure he can handle a dog catcher court given he has been running a kangaroo court since taking the bench. Another option would be to pay Judge Price now all of his remaining salary and benefits, collect his Circuit Court Judge license plate and tell him today is his last day.

Drop in the bucket with all the things that go on that are kept secret.

Price should not even be an attorney and neither should the attorneys who represent the killer. Credit for awaiting trial? Since when is being on ankle monitoring lawfully deemed by the SC legislatures and signed into law y the SC governor, “incarceration”? The defendant was still lowed to leave his home!

There are other SC judges, current and past, who are/were even less’qualifued’ than Price. But their lawyer friends covered their backs. Even entities with the circuit courts clerk offices around the state, do they play along, too? From what I have come across, yes.

Keep up the impressive investigate reporting!
