Case to go to attorney general's office
The trial of Michael Antwon Fuller, 24, charged with kidnapping first degree assault and related crimes, was delayed after a judge transferred the case to the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office for a special prosecutor. The move came after discussions over letters Fuller wrote and whether they created a conflict of interest. The date for trial remains uncertain, with a worst case scenario of up to a year.
