Supreme Court of South Carolina

State v. Quinn

May 6, 2020

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that the State could not appeal the guilty plea entered by Rick Quinn, Jr., affirmed the trial court's sentencing decision, and found no basis for judicial bias requiring recusal. The Court reasoned that the State was not an aggrieved party, that the sentencing judge acted within her discretion, and that no evidence of bias existed.
