    Jury Selection in South Carolina

    JURY SELECTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA: The presiding judge will ask questions to determine which potential jurors are disqualified, exempt, postponed, or excused from jury service. After qualification, the judge then conducts standard voir dire (a list of questions for the qualified jurors to determine if they can be fair and impartial).  The Prosecutor and Defense can submit proposed questions for the judge to ask the potential jurors because the lawyers generally only know a very small amount of information about the potential jurors (age, gender, race, address, occupation, relationship status, and their spouse's occupation if married). The judge has complete discretion regarding whether to ask those questions.  The lawyers can move to strike potential jurors for cause if they have reason to believe the juror cannot be fair and impartial. Same as voir dire, the judge has the final say on whether to strike a juror for cause. Depending on the indicted offense(s), Defendant may receive up to ten (10) strikes.  If the case is in General Sessions Court, then twelve (12) jurors will be selected and generally, two alternates. If the case is in Summary Court (Magistrate or Municipal), then six (6) jurors are selected. After jury selection, the judge will generally appoint a foreperson for the impaneled jury.   https://sccriminallaws.com | 1614 Taylor Street, Columbia, SC 29201   Disclaimer: The information in this recording (1) does not establish an attorney-client relationship, (2) is only for general information, (3) does not constitute legal advice, (4) cannot be cited as legal authority, (5) may not be accurate because laws constantly change, and (6) cannot replace the advice of an attorney licensed in South Carolina who has reviewed the facts of your case.

    Q&A - Criminal Procedure and Criminal Trials in South Carolina

    Q&A - CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND TRIALS: Unfortunately, most of the information I see on social media about criminal procedure and trials in South Carolina is either wrong or misleading. The Alex Murdaugh case and trial have made this problem significantly worse.  As a criminal defense lawyer who has tried numerous felony cases (including murder) and argued a significant amount of cases on appeal (including murder), I want the public to know and understand what actually happens when someone is accused, acquitted, or convicted of a crime in South Carolina.  If you have any questions about criminal procedure and trials in SC, please provide them in the comment section or send them directly to me. I will answer you as soon as possible. However, please know that I can't give you legal advice about a specific case.   https://sccriminallaws.com 1614 Taylor Street, Columbia, SC 29201   Disclaimer: The information in this recording (1) does not establish an attorney-client relationship, (2) is only for general information, (3) does not constitute legal advice, (4) cannot be cited as legal authority, (5) may not be accurate because laws constantly change, and (6) cannot replace the advice of an attorney licensed in South Carolina who has reviewed the facts of your case.
