Should this thread be moved to awaiting trial? Reporting.

Just from what I’m seeing with the slow courts around the upstate I’d guess we will be awaiting for a while.

Why new court dates set? This case has shown no new info, no movement, nothing since early spring 2024, from what I could see. moo

Please tell us what new court dates OP is viewing. Seems to me there's been no change to the docket since posted last May. Thanks.

Indictments weren't filed until late January 2024 so seeing discovery motions and not much else populating the docket in 7 months seems about par for a small county. Then again I've not seem much in SC outside of "Murdaugh" county. I don't think this is a situation of well heeled lawyers to help push the boat. JMO

ETA: There will be no prelim hearing since this was an Indictment so we won't know the evidence until trial.

AMs lawyers fought for a speedy trial but other cases that I’ve been watching are s l o w.

Horrific murders. May justice be served.
