In the Matter of Francis A. Oxner

Summary

The Supreme Court of South Carolina affirmed the circuit court’s finding that Francis Arthur Oxner committed the acts charged, holding that the statutory definition of “convicted of a sexually violent offense” includes a person who was charged but found incompetent, that the due‑process safeguards in the Sexually Violent Predator Act satisfy constitutional requirements, and that the speedy‑trial issue was not preserved for review.
