SC - Scott family of four, ages 59-82, Pendleton, 1 Nov 2015 *arrests*

[asmi106082]

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.


On October 31, 2015, Cathy and Mike Scott, as well as Violet Taylor, 82, and Barbara Scott, 80, were all brutally stabbed and then shot after the victims were dead.

I watched the two Cold Justice episodes (which I think were so incredibly well done) and ran here! I can see why early on this looked like a slam dunk. In a way though I am so GLAD law enforcement took years to get here, I bet Amy and Ross were fully CONVINCED they had got away with it. I think they were fully settled and comfortable in what they did, so for this to resurface years later is just golden. The nature of the murders is absolutely despicable and I agree that if it was four younger people it would have gained more traction. JMO.

The 2023 criminal case still pending.

Thank You, @arielilane. I was just telling someone about this case yesterday. BTW, I couldn't get to the specific news article with the link. Put me through all kinds of rigamarole. The info at the court site isn't that straight forward. I just want to be assured these two are still being held in jail and facing a trial. Pleeease, I mean they killed her own mother and grandmother! Why is there a red inactive on some lines by her name?​

Couple denied bond in quadruple homicide​

Why is there a red inactive on some lines by her name?

^^rsbm

The defendant was acting pro se until defense attorney Lori Murray added to the record, thus the "inactive status" for AV. (AV has never filed notice to withdraw). I think this follows her personality-- she's ready to fire her attorney and 're-activate' at any whim. JMO

ETA: Seems co-defendant Ross Vilardi using the same strategy. He also filed notice of appearance for pro se and is currently "inactive" and being represented by defense attorney Shaun Kent.
