How is this a political issue? I am not following.
First, Lexington Co is 70% Republican... its South Carolina.
Second, looks like it was this guy's first violent offense, as horrific as it was, (as if any murder isnt horrific). Are we blaming prosecutors for not being Minority Report and convicting him of future crimes or is there some violent crime in the past that was whitewashed?
Here is his crimes. Almost all the charges were stolen goods or possession charges. I didnt see anything violent, but maybe I missed it. No idea why a career thief graduated into a cold blooded executioner. He deserves to never see freedom.
