$30k for a murder charge is ridiculous. ..only thing I can think of,is the judge knew in advance they would be unable to post bond at that level.
Horry County is ridiculous, period. The LEO's out there routinely drop the ball on so many cases. That is if they ever get a ball rolling to begin with. I hate to be critical of law enforcement in general terms...there are so many good men and women in what's becoming an under appreciated field; These folks put their lives on the line to keep others safe and continuously get a bad rap these days (although a handful of them well deserve it, too). My point though is that Horry County could do a lot better, IMO. They certainly aren't making it any easier for the good, honest officers out there who are trying do right. Seems it might serve them well to clean house a little bit and get some fresh faces on their force. But what more can we expect from a good 'ol boys club?
I just hope they can get their act together eventually. Zachary, along with many others deserve justice. They deserve to be laid to rest. Their families deserve some sort of peace. My heart breaks for the victims and families of such crimes in that county.
The family of missing Aynor teen, Zachary Malinowski's, says two years without their son is more than enough.
The family is more determined than ever though, to find the son they miss so much.
"I love him, and I miss him more and more each day,” said mother Melissa Marcus. “All I can ask is for someone to please come forward and help us."
Christopher Anfony Brown, 21, of Conway, has been arrested and charged after a shooting in Conway on Friday night.
Brown is out on bond on a murder charge in the death of missing Aynor teen Zachary Malinowski. His bond was set at $30,000 in May by Judge Culbertson on that murder charge.
A motion has been filed by the defense to have the 15th Circuit Solicitors Office recused from the case for one of the men charged in connection with the death of Zachary Malinowski.
A judge decided the case will be moved from 15th Circuit Solicitors Office to avoid the appearance of impropriety. The South Carolina Attorney Generals Office will handle the case and it will be held in Conway.
One of the men charged in the death of missing Aynor teen, Zack Malinowski, is now back in jail in connection with another murder case, as well as drug charges. Javon Dion Gibbs, 22, of Conway, is charged murder, kidnapping, possession of a weapon during a violence crime and with trafficking cocaine, according to J. Reuben Long Detention Center.

Both men were granted a $50,000 bond in that case and were back out on the streets when police say they committed other crimes.
In November of last year, police said Brown shot a man in the leg at a Burger King. He faces attempted murder, weapons and drug charges in that case.
On Thursday, Gibbs was arrested for another kidnapping and murder. Police say he killed Laquan Johnson in September at a home on Kimberly drive in Conway.
Zachary Malinowski was last seen playing basketball at the Aynor Town Park over three years ago. On his birthday, his friends and family are left only with old pictures and old memories.
I was the first person he met. We went to Kingston Elementary School off of 905, said Austin Crafton, Malinowskis best friend. Ever since he moved to Aynor in eighth grade and we were best friends, hed come to my house every weekend. Every time wed get out of school we were together.
Zacharys mother, Missy Jordan, has been working with the Cue Center for Missing Persons. She said she will never give up looking for her son.
Today would have been his, you know, 23rd birthday, said Missy Jordan. "He would have been a young man now instead of a teenager.
Court rosters show one of the men accused of kidnapping and killing Zachary Malinowski will be in court the week of September 4.
Javon Gibbs was charged with murder and kidnapping after Malinowski went missing in 2013. A relative found the burnt remains of his car in the woods in September of 2013 but his body has still not been found.
The trial for Javon Gibbs, one of the two men charged with the murder of Zack Malinowski, has been delayed, according to the S.C. Attorney General's Office.
A motion that was granted by a judge affected the State's ability to try the case, according to Robert Kittle, spokesperson for the AG's office.
Birthdays are some people's favorite time of the year. It's a time to celebrate your loved one and their life, but for Zachary Malinowski's family, it's a day to keep his memory alive.

Two men have been charged in connection with the case, but as of now, their trials are on hold. Rabon said the family hasn't seen as many developments in the case as they would like but they are keeping the faith.
"We've been told that we can't comment on it too much. The justice system is a really slow process sometimes, and it's really confusing for a lot of people, and you just have to be patient and know that things are going to work out the way they should be. I think, more than anything, I can speak for myself, more than anything that can happen judicially, we just want him to be brought home," said Rabon.
