Former Ninth Circuit asst. solicitor suspended for 6 months for pointing and presenting a firearm
On May 11 the S.C. Supreme Court ordered a six month suspension (retroactive) for a former Ninth Circuit (Charleston and Berkeley Counties) asst. solicitor who pulled his pistol on another driver in a road-rage incident. The Court allowed for a lesser sanction than the two years recommended by Disciplinary Counsel after finding that the other driver was not truthful in her statements to the courts, supposedly to gain an advantage in a civil suit against the attorney.
The attorney successfully completed PTI (pre-trial intervention) and his record has been expunged.
Comments
This was a high crime a felony. No PTI should have been granted by the SC court. He should have got the max as other SC resident. Still the good old boys system. And HCPD Marcus Rhodes should never work around kids at any US school. He will kill again that mam is sick. With fair. Sign a Federal law over seeer of crime in DOJ ?.
