Supreme Court of South Carolina

State v. Brewton

January 31, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of South Carolina affirmed the Court of Appeals’ decision, modifying it to uphold the admission of the petitioner’s 1999 strong‑arm robbery conviction for impeachment despite its remoteness, finding that its probative value substantially outweighed any prejudicial effect and that the petitioner did not waive his objection by agreeing to label the convictions as crimes of dishonesty.
