About the Seminar
This seminar will consist of a panel discussion and two presentations. The panel will discuss the impact of the trial penalty on an accused person’s decision to plead guilty rather than face a much more severe punishment if they go to trial. Rauch Wise will discuss the status of the common scheme or plan exception to Rule 404(b) of the South Carolina Rules of Evidence by examining the Supreme Court’s opinions in State v. Wallace, State v. Perry, State v. Durant, and State v. Cotton. Amie Clifford will conclude the program with a comprehensive overview of new cases and legislation that impacts the criminal law.
