Summary

Trey is joined by Eighth Circuit Solicitor and South Carolina Attorney General Candidate David Stumbo for a candid conversation about the South Carolina legal system. Drawing on their shared experience as prosecutors, they discuss the challenges of managing thousands of cases with limited court time and why "truth in sentencing" is necessary for victims to find closure. They also take a look at the unique way South Carolina selects its judges and why Solicitor Stumbo believes the current process needs to change as he seeks the office of Attorney General.  Learn more about your ad choices.
