Walterboro: State Police told Judges that they did not want to release more information about the murder of two family members of the Law of South Carolina which prominent and, after more than a month inquiry, said they still did not know what proof might be important to resolve this case.
The state law enforcement division was in Wednesday’s court with office and courier.
The Charleston newspaper sued the agency, said it had violated the state’s state record law with the first rejection to release the police report on murder, then very blackened information in the report released.
Agency was investigating the death of June 7 Maggie Murdaugh, and his son Paul Murdaugh, 22.
Alex Murdarash found his wife and son shot several times outside the house in the land of Colleton Family after examining his bad father, the authorities said.
The country agent has released a little information about their investigation and lawyers seem to suggest probes not focus on certain people or theories about what can happen.
If the wrong information is released, it might affect witness memories or prevent agents from arresting the people they ask for lies.
“At any stage of investigation like this, it is very difficult to know precisely evidence, witnesses, and information that is very important, and evidence, witnesses, or information what is proven to have a little value,” State Law Enforcement Division and Office of the Colleton County Office Writing in court newspapers.
Deputy Colleton County changed the investigation into the state police immediately.
Post and Courier’s Lawyer argues that the state body with heart by fainting information in the report.
He said the Law of the Freedom of Information on South Carolina’s information requires the body to say exactly how any information that is not released will affect the investigation instead of allowing officials to only cause problems.
State police released 18 pages of last month’s report.
All but one page has editors and some pages completely fainted.
Information that was not submitted included details about a deputy who asked to get a tent to overcome the evidence while the TKP technician worked, another representative who described where he placed the ribbon scene crime and other officers asking for the nearest home and business if they had a surveillance camera pointing towards the road , “They did not think about the Law of Freedom of Information,” said the lawyer of the Edward Fenno newspaper.
“They are only removed as they want.” At the end of hearing, Judge Judge Bentley said he would review the editor and if he felt they were not legal, more information message was released.
The Murdaugh family offers a $ 100,000 prize to anyone who provides information that leads to killer beliefs and the state law enforcement division continues to promote a 24-hour tip line for the case at (803) 896-2605.
Alex Murdaugh’s father, grandfather and great-grandfather are all elected old and, along with other family members, have had a successful private law practice in the nearest Hampton County and the surrounding area.
At the time of his death, Paul Murdaugh awaited the court on charges of boating under the influence that caused death in the accident in February 2019 which killed Mallory Beach aged 19 years.
Whether local law enforcement agencies tried to obstruct investigations for boating deaths also reviewed by state officials.
