The State, Respondent v. Dennis Elvin Cervantes-Pavon, Petitioner.

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that the circuit court erred in denying Dennis Cervantes‑Pavon immunity under the Protection of Persons and Property Act because it applied the wrong legal standard and based its decision on improper factual conclusions. The Court reversed the denial of immunity and remanded for a new pre‑trial immunity hearing.
