Tim Jones - Confesses to Killing his Five Children Full Length Police Interrogation Tim Jones confesses to killing his five children in interview audio played during trial In an audio recording of a police interview played during the trial of Tim Jones contains his confession of killing his five children. LEXINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WIS) - After more than three weeks of testimony, a jury has reached a verdict in the trial of Timothy Jones, Jr., a Lexington County man accused of murdering his five children in 2014. The jury concluded that Jones has been found guilty on all five counts of murder in the deaths of his children. The second phase of the proceedings is the sentencing phase and that will begin at 8:45 a.m. on Thursday. Because the state is seeking the death penalty, the jury is now responsible for determining his punishment. The jury had four options for their verdict: guilty, guilty but mentally ill, not guilty by reason of insanity, or not guilty. Jones pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. A grand jury indicted Jones, Jr. in 2014 on five counts of murder in the deaths of his children – Mera, 8; Elias, 7; Nahtahn, 6; Gabriel, 2; and Abigail, 1. For Mera, Elias, Gabriel, and Abigail, the indictments state the children were killed “by means of strangulation and/or other violent means or instruments.” The bodies of the children were found in garbage bags off of a dirt road in Alabama. Jones, Jr. led authorities to the bodies after being arrested in Mississippi. Jones, who appeared to be under the influence at the time of his arrest, was questioned at the checkpoint by a Smith County, Miss. deputy about an odor of chemicals coming from his vehicle. After further investigation, the deputy found what appeared to be chemicals used to make meth and a street drug known as “Spice.” Investigators also said his Cadillac Escalade was blood-soaked and “smelled of death.”

On today's show, Hunter sat down with Cameron Blazer, the Circuit Public Defender in Charleston, South Carolina, to discuss the past, present, and future of Public Defense in the state. From the start of the show, Hunter has long wanted to discuss with more detail the South Carolina practice of non-attorneys serving as judges, but there is so much more to this episode than that. In an unusual turn of events, South Carolina has actually started to increase the funding for Public Defense, and in turn, people like Cameron are seizing the opportunity to make meaningful changes to both their practice and the lives of their clients.   Guests: Cameron Blazer, Circuit Public Defender, 9th Circuit, South Carolina     Resources: “When Your Judge Isn't a Lawyer” https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/02/when-your-judge-isnt-a-lawyer/515568 “Lawsuit Challenges Rural Judges without Law Degrees Instructed to Oversee Jury Trials.” http://www.fernleyreporter.com/lawsuit-challenges-rural-judges-without-law-degrees-instructed-to-oversee-jury-trials “Rush To Judgement: How South Carolina's Summary Courts Fail to Protect Constitutional Rights”. https://www.nacdl.org/getattachment/ab9d6b03-2b45-4235-890e-235461a9bb2d/rush-to-judgment-how-south-carolina-s-summary-courts-fail-to-protect-constitutional-rights.pdf “Summary Injustice: A Look at Constitutional Deficiencies in South Carolina's Summary Courts” https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/media/publications/Summary%20Injustice%20-%20A%20look%20at%20Constitutional%20Deficiencies%20in%20SC%20Summary%20Courts%2C%20ACLU%2C%202016.pdf “These Judges Can Have Less Training Than Barbers but Still Decide Thousands of Cases Each Year.”  https://www.propublica.org/article/these-judges-can-have-less-training-than-barbers-but-still-decide-thousands-of-cases-each-year After More Than Five Years of Litigation, Lexington County, S.C., Agrees to Dramatically Increase Funding for Indigent Defense https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/after-more-five-years-litigation-lexington-county-sc-agrees-dramatically-increase South Carolina Public Defender Commission https://sccid.sc.gov/ Follow Cameron on Twitter https://twitter.com/cameronblazer?lang=en       Contact Hunter Parnell: Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN

The ESG bat signal can be seen in South Carolina. A parent/teacher group in Lexington County decides it can be divisive in the name of "love" and a Starbucks barista thinks an 8 hour work day is just too much. All of that and more on the Halloween edition of the fastest-growing conservative podcast in South Carolina.

Big Box vs. Mom-and-Pop Agencies   If you are trying to decide where to hang your license as a real estate investor, this is the perfect episode for you.  Listen in as Tim Williams shares the differences between the "Big Box" companies and the smaller, less cookie-cutter agencies.  He and Jen also get into where the market is going and back to the basics of customer service.   An entrepreneur since age 18, Tim Williams values hard work, service, and helping others, whether they are his clients or his team members. Tim owned and operated several businesses beginning shortly after high school graduation. He always had a fascination with real estate so he and a friend started a business of flipping houses. That business was the perfect segway into residential real estate and it didn't take long before Tim earned his real estate license. He began his career with a corporate brokerage and later moved to another brokerage for a stint, but quickly realized that, having worked for himself since age 18, it was time for his own independent brokerage. By age 29, he earned his broker's license. Now, 803 Realty, which covers Lexington and parts of Lexington County, already comprises 58 agents. Tim is considering expanding to new markets by building on his core and putting the right people in place to reach Charleston, Augusta, and perhaps even Charlotte. To do so, he already has the passion, the drive, and the independence of his own service-driven business. More important than expansion or numbers, are his clients. “We have serving hearts; I'm motivated by our clients and the opportunity to change how real estate is done and how people perceive agents.” Tim and his wife Cidney, are quite involved in Lexington, from helping out at the schools their three children attend to taking part in city beautification projects. They also love Lake Murray – the jewel of South Carolina. “ I love time with my family and vacationing”, Tim adds. “They are the center of my world.”   Social Media Links: https://www.facebook.com/MrRealEstateWilliams Website: WWW.Mr803.com   To learn more about Jen Josey, visit www.TheRealJenJosey.com To join REIGN, visit www.REIGNmastermind.com

The ‘Murdaugh Murders' crime and corruption saga marched on this week with new indictments handed down in connection with the financial crimes component of the investigation. Indictments were issued against the former CEO of Palmetto State Bank, Russell Laffitte – the first time he has been criminally charged – while additional indictments were handed down against alleged co-conspirator Cory Fleming and Alex Murdaugh himself.The civil side of the the case also continued via a contentious court hearing in Lexington County. The court appointed receivers in the matter — attorneys John T. Lay and Peter McCoy – argued in front of S.C. circuit court judge Daniel Hall as to why they should be allowed to continue controlling Murdaugh's assets prior to the resolution of the pending litigation.Murdaugh's attorneys — including “bulldogs” Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin — have been “pulling out all the stops to regain full control of Alex's finances.”We reported a lot of drug news this week, too, managing to piss off both the left and the right in doing so …SHOW NOTES …MURDAUGH MURDERSState Grand Jury Indicts Former Bank CEO Russell Laffitte.

Part 2: Justice for Willie Leaphart: My Interview is with Mike Burgess is the Lead Teacher for the Center for Law and Global Policy Development at River Bluff High School in Lexington, South Carolina. The Center for Law and Global Policy Development is a two-year program housed at River Bluff High School that is available to all Junior and Seniors of the five high schools in Lexington County School District One. The program focuses on leadership development and policy creation in the areas of law, politics, and foreign affairs. In June 2022, Mr. Burgess will have completed his 27th year as a public high school history teacher in South Carolina. Mike Burgess and his family have attended St. Stephens since January 2011. He is married to his college sweetheart Chrystal and has four children- Caylee, Jackson, Manning, and Madelyn who all attend, or have attended, Lexington County School District One schools. The Burgess family has participated in a variety of programs in the church life of St. Stephens. Currently, Burgess serves on Church Council. A lifelong American Revolution historian and resident of South Carolina, Mr. Burgess received the 2022 South Carolina VFW High School Teacher of the Year Award at a banquet in February. In 2014, Burgess was the South Carolina Sons of the American Revolution Teacher of the Year. Mr. Burgess received his BA in History from the University of South Carolina in 1993 and his MAT from the same university in 1995. LEXINGTON — On May 5, 1890, a Black teenager named Willie Leaphart sat in a Lexington County cell waiting on a new trial ordered by the governor after evidence surfaced proving his innocence in the attempted rape of a White girl. But the 17-year-old never had a chance to win his exoneration. An angry mob of 100 burst into the Main Street jail and poured dozens of bullets into him. Leaphart had just become the county's first recorded lynching victim. Ten more would follow through 1921. It's a story that likely would remain obscured if not for the efforts of Michael Burgess, a River Bluff High School history teacher who began digging into Leaphart's fate in March after a student asked whether the county had ever had a lynching. Since then, he's given lectures on Leaphart's story to community organizations and helped co-found a group, the Lexington County Truth and Reconciliation Collaboration, dedicated to accurately chronicling the area's racially complex history. River Bluff High School history teacher Michael Burgess orients himself along Main Street in Lexington as he compares the location of a courthouse in jail from 1890 against modern-day buildings. Adam Benson/Staff The group wants to see a marker erected at the site of Leaphart's murder, and Burgess hopes to eventually win him a pardon. Burgess envisions town hall-style talks, cultural events and other education functions in the county of 300,000 — South Carolina's sixth largest — with Leaphart's death a springboard. In the tale of Leaphart, Burgess saw a timely symbol of Lexington's need for reconciliation and honesty in a period of turmoil and upheaval. “What happened on this site has completely disappeared. It's just not talked about,” Burgess said steps from where Leaphart was shot. A historical marker nearby describes the history and construction of the courthouse grounds. “It's hard to build a diverse, tolerant community when you haven't engaged in the reality of the past. We're losing the roots of our story,” Burgess said. “This community has ignored this and other pieces of history and there are still racial issues in Lexington, and the ability to begin to address those begins with accountability of the past.” #Lynching #Justice #Healing # --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/momentsofgrace/support

"O" is for Opportunity Schools. Dr. Wil Lou Gray, the state supervisor in adult education, created a boarding school for young people who could not attend public school or who had not gone further than the fifth grade. The school opened in August 1921 at the Tamassee DAR School in Oconee County to offer educational opportunities for undereducated young white women. For a decade the school operated during August on the campuses of Anderson, Erskine, Clemson, and Lander colleges. By 1931 it was co-educational and in 1936 the Opportunity School for Negroes opened at Vorhees. In 1947, the General Assembly appropriated funds to make adult education available year-round. In the 21 st century, the Opportunity School, operating from its permanent campus in Lexington County, continues to be an alternative educational source for teenagers and young adults.

Hello Gardeners, I'm Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. When my mother felt a little low in energy, she'd say, “I need some Lexington County tender greens, which are a type of mustard green. These come from Brassica juncea, a different species than the collards and kales, and originated in western or central Asia. In parts of the world, varying cultivars of mustard greens are used for different purposes, including collecting the seeds to make brown mustard, which is more pungent in flavor than yellow mustard. The seeds are also used to make a cooking oil, which is probably way too strong for our Western palate but highly prized in India and neighboring countries. Some types of mustard grown for their leaves are hot; you don't have to add any Texas Pete. But those Lexington county greens Momma sought out are mild and still full of vitamins and minerals.

Altered Population is an investigation into filicide in South Carolina hosted by Jennifer Wells. In today’s episode of Altered Population, Jennifer travels to Lexington County for the Jones’ trial only to find out that it has been delayed. She corresponds with Harrison Cahill throughout the week to eventually paint him into a corner so that she can get the public documents she requested. Jennifer uses the quiet time in Lexington to dig back into the Smith case, where Harrison Cahill makes another appearance, and she discusses the importance of searching for nuance and letting people’s true stories be known. Jennifer analyzes Susan’s handwriting as one of those nuances to describe her mental state. Before heading out to Lexington County, Jennifer describes how she learned about the Public Index that would have allowed her to search the court records of pending and closed cases. Instead she used the standard form on the county website, which wasn’t very detailed and resulted in her not receiving any of the official documents she requested. She confirmed the court date on the phone with Harrison Cahill and set out to Lexington County, which was a four-hour drive from home. Upon arrival, Jennifer realized she’d been played and that the court date she was given was incorrect. On top of that she had been denied the press credentials she had requested. Instead of marching into Cahill’s office, furious that he’d lied to her, she sat through four hours of jury selection to calm her nerves. Jennifer explains how she finds the whole process fascinating, and how she witnessed it by being mistaken for a law student. The process started with roll call, each person giving his or her juror number, name, occupation, and marital status. Afterwards Jennifer talked to the bailiff and explained how she was actually waiting for the Jones trial, and he told her he wasn’t surprised it was delayed again. So Jennifer emailed Cahill back, who informed her that there was no steadfast date set for the trial. She proceeded to email him about the gag order and to find out who asked for it, so that she wouldn’t violate it. After backing Cahill into a corner, Jennifer got the public records she asked for less than 24 hours later from Frick. It didn’t make up for the incorrect court date, but she made the best of the down time and dug into her other cases. She started with Susan Smith’s old mug shot, which wasn’t what she imagined. She had dark sleek hair, looking quite normal. Jennifer found a letter from Smith to Cahill. Cahill had spoken about Susan Smith’s case and how he wrote her a letter to ask why she did it in order to understand her better, in the hopes of preventing these things in the future. Susan wrote back to Cahill to tell him that she didn’t receive his request for information. She explained that she was not the monster society that society believes her to be. She said she was a good mother and something just went horribly wrong on that night. Susan also expressed that she’d be interested in speaking to Cahill at a later date. Jennifer explains how she analyzes handwriting, in reference to Susan’s letter to Cahill, and how the way a person dots their i’s says a lot about them. If the dots are right above, the person might be very organized and detail-oriented. If the dots are to the left, then they’re likely a procrastinator. If the i’s are dotted with oversized circles the person could be childlike. Susan had dotless i’s, which could be a sign of confusion or lack of attention. It’s the details and nuances, like her handwriting, that will help fill in the gaps about Susan Smith. KEY TAKEAWAYS WITH TIMESTAMPS01:16 How to fill out a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request04:30 The thing Jennifer was most embarrassed about08:00 The moment that Jennifer realized she was lied to11:23 How Jennifer blended into the court house during jury selection13:30 The selection jury process17:32 How Jennifer deciphered emails to track down public information19:16 Research into gag orders, FOIA orders, and South Carolina social services20:19 Jennifer’s emails to and from Cahill to ask about the gag order23:05 Is it a secret trial?25:36 How Jennifer reframed the incorrect court date and time in Lexington County27:15 Smith’s note to Harrison Cahill28:41 Harrison Cahill’s LinkedIn profile30:20 Cahill’s description of Susan Smith33:17 Susan’s letter back to Cahill34:25 There’s more to Susan’s story35:26 Why Jennifer believes it’s good Susan didn’t get the interview with Cahill36:33 The nuances needed to understand Susan37:26 Handwriting analysis40:15 Confusion in all the details41:16 Jennifer’s email reaching out in Greenville LINKS/RESOURCESRate, review, subscribe, and tell a friend about this podcast.
