South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson joins "Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy" to discuss the "secret order" that led to the early-release of convicted killer Jeroid Price.
Wilson points to a Democratic legislator and Democratic prosecutor obtaining a "secret order" that resulted in Price being released 16-years early from a 35-year sentence. Christopher Lopez is a digital production assistant for Fox News Digital. He joined Fox News in 2021.
"You can't have – a criminal defense attorney, a prosecutor, a judge enter into an agreement to illegally deprive people of their constitutional rights, namely victims. You also can't have them enter into an agreement to circumvent the mandated laws that the General Assembly has passed that requires them to follow a process," Wilson said. "What you had is, is you had a prosecutor, and you had a criminal defense attorney, who coincidentally happens to be in the General Assembly, approach a judge who was on his last day before retiring and enter into an agreement that voided all of those requirements. No hearing, no motion, and then the order was sealed."
