Criminal Law Appeal Cases

State v. Gregory 339 S.C. 2, 528 S.E.2d 77 (2000).

Our office represented one of the parties on the appeal.

Defendant driver was charged with speeding and at trial the arresting officer failed to introduce any evidence of the applicable speed limit. The Trial Court convicted defendant, and the first Appellate Court ordered a new trial. Ultimately, the matter reached the South Carolina Supreme Court which held that a second trial would violate Defendant’s double jeopardy rights.
