Lawmakers review prison release program after Stanko case
Myrtle Beach lawmakers call for revamping the Community Supervision Program following Stephen Stanko 37 who completed 85 percent of a 10 year sentence for kidnapping assault and breach of trust and is charged with two killings and a sexual assault. Officials say no prior violations were found during supervision. The program began in 1996 to ensure truth in sentencing with ankle monitors for the first three months and strict supervision afterward.
