Legal thoughts on Holmes complaint

The newspaper that starting digging into Amelia McKie's ethics violations and found other violations by Richland 2 School Board member has done more.

It was after that that I became interested and then dug into the law. If you haven't read the law yet, look at S.C. Code of Laws Section 8-13-1110(A). Scroll down to Section 8-13-1110(A). The Section is short and crystal-clear.

The Voice of Blythewood & Fairfield County (online and on Facebook) sought a legal opinion from the South Carolina Press Association, after it looked at a heavily-redacted copy of Teresa Holmes' harassment complaint against me.

You can read what the S.C. Press Association has to say right here.

Extracting a small portion of Attorney Jay Bender's comment, he said, in part, about a public official, "You certainly lose the right to file a criminal complaint because you don’t like what someone is saying.”

Free-Times also has a long article this week.
