South Carolina Crimes: Elements and Defenses, Second Edition provides an overview of all major South Carolina crimes and breaks them down into their basic elements. Key terms are defined and conflicts in case law are identified. The same procedure is used for defenses to criminal conduct, such as self-defense, insanity, and the like. The practitioner will be able to reference a particular crime, quickly determine the elements necessary for proving the offense, determine the defenses available, the possible sentence, and the meaning of key terms used in the definition of the crime. Detailed references are provided for further research and study.  

This book was designed to be a practical, handy, quick reference manual for criminal law practitioners. Its purpose is to help both the defense and prosecution get a quick focus on the basic elements of various criminal offenses and defenses, and to guide the reader to more in-depth resources when needed. The book will be extremely valuable for criminal law practitioners who want a quick and easy-to-use reference book.  

The 2024 Supplement includes case law and statutory updates from 2021 to September 2024.
