Supreme Court of South Carolina
Kenneth E. Curtis v. the State of South Carolina…
July 17, 2001345 S.C. 557
Summary
The court held that the appeal from denial of a temporary injunction was moot because the trial court had entered a final order on the merits, but it nevertheless addressed the consolidated merits appeal. It severed the statute's conclusive intent-presumption language as unconstitutional while upholding the remainder of the statute against vagueness, First Amendment, equal protection, punishment, commerce, privacy, and Fourth Amendment challenges. The court affirmed the trial court's order in all other respects.
