State v. Russell Levon Johnson

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated Russell Levon Johnson’s conviction for criminal domestic violence, holding that evidence of his conduct in Dillon and Marlboro Counties was admissible as part of the res gestae of the Marion County domestic‑violence charge and that a limiting instruction was not required. The Court also affirmed that Johnson had preserved the evidentiary and limiting‑instruction issues for appeal.
