Supreme Court of South Carolina

Rose v. SC Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services

January 29, 2020

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that the Administrative Law Court’s finding that Rose received four votes in favor of parole was supported by substantial evidence, that the ALC had authority to order DPPPS to carry out the board’s decision, and that Rose satisfied both the pre‑1986 simple‑majority and post‑1986 two‑thirds vote requirements. The Court remanded for DPPPS to determine Rose’s parole conditions.
