South Carolina Crimes: Elements and Defenses
(2022)
Abstract
This source is designed with the practitioner of criminal law - the defense attorney and prosecutor - in mind. It 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 footnotes are provided for further research and study.
