Well now..... this is newsworthy - maybe..

[tprice]

Rocket science or not the defense will argue he’ll never get a fair trial now. They will use the unfair trial, the publicity etc to their benefit. He may not walk but this time the prosecutions case will be weak. SLED investigators that spent over 17 hours on the stand are now retired. It’s going to be a shit show.

Yep and lot of folks forgetting Ginger Boy is an attorney as well former Asst Solicitor so he KNOWS the angles better than 99.9% of criminals.


Nothing will surprise me in this case plus you keep thinking he is in Federal prison for 40 yrs, Lot of those get pardoned by an out going POTUS . Hell Nevian Shapiro got out after a ponzi scheme for more money than that

[centurian]

wonder how much money he has squirrelled away. Gotta have an exist plan when in this kind of business.

He ever see's the outside again, he'll be on a tropical island with no extradition treaty. Dicky Poot's probably trying to get him a weekend pass right now.

And the murder weapons are somewhere in the Atlantic ocean.

Iffen they would just give that SOB to me............The problem would go away...........Forever.

I imagine there's a long line saying the same thing.

[centurian]

There are but probably that many more beholding to him and his silence after all the years as solicitor. None of this will ever be clean. I can’t imagine him killing those two, maybe the wife due to divorce allegations but not the son.

[ecu1984]

I heard he was a real nice fella, other than murder'n a few folks and robbing the handicapped and mentally disabled

I don't know the man but drugs make people do crazy shit sometimes. He seemed to function at work so he must not have been too crazy

He was NOT a drug addict.

Rest assured Poot and Griffin know where some of it is or they would be cutting a new trail.

Yeah, functioning at work as in embezzling funds from the law office, defrauding clients, stiffing bankers/IRS, intimidating witnesses to a crime, murdering his wife and kid and then trying to cover it up. As Boozer said, he wasn't a drug addict, that's some BS they he came up with to try and cover his tracks. Now all of this shit gets drug back out and put on the front page again, Mallory Beech's family, Stephen Smith's family, the housekeeper Gloria's family and others get drug through it all over again.

Like you have never done it. Mr Judgemental

[ecu1984]

Poot is saying the state leaned so hard on the financial crimes and the financial
victims testifying because they had nothing else really to go with. That was 90% of their case.
Not a great motive, no witness, no forensic evidence, no confession
Nothing except him lying about where he was. Nothing related to the financial crimes can be heard
this next time around.

[JJ1965]

He was NOT a drug addict.

This. Exactly.

I do not think he has any hidden. Old boy lived large and beyond his means regardless of what he made . House of cards started coming down when boat wreck happened and he saw writing on the wall and went in panic mode

[Buckin Bronco]

This. Exactly.

Were his times at rehab just a stunt?

[centurian]

Like i said don't know the man only what i read on here, in the news, and saw in the movie which i thought was way over done except for how gruesome the actual murder was described in the news. The crime he is being re-tried over is murder not financial crimes. The financial crime were federal crimes.

[Carolina Counsel]

Nothing related to the financial crimes can be heard
this next time around.

I don't think that's the ruling. The SC just said that it was overdone to the point that the prejudicial effect outweighed the probative value. I think the state can still present the financial crimes to establish motive, but not to the extent of last time.
