COJ #152 - Attorney General Candidate David Pascoe On Saving South Carolina’s Justice System From Secrets, Corruption, and the Politics of Protectionism
Description
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have a long list of questions for South Carolina’s 1st Circuit Solicitor David Pascoe and they aren’t afraid to ask them.
Pascoe, who is running to replace state attorney general Alan Wilson in next year’s election has a well-known history of being the only top law enforcement officer in the state who is calling out corruption and seeking accountability for public officials who cross the line.
Our Questions: Why is the unhinged (now former) Beaufort County deputy Billy Squires STILL not arrested? Is someone sitting on the case? Why are lawyer-legislators making hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money under Attorney General Alan Wilson? Wait. What? They are?!? Is there really a separate, better door for wealthy and politically connected defendants when it comes to the justice system? And what’s going on with Judge Carmen Mullen?
Plus a special Premium-Only conversation about Grand Juries and why some charges are routed there.
☕ Cups Up! ⚖️
