Last capital case tried in Aiken county faces death penalty
The ongoing murder trial of Stephen Carter is the first capital case in Aiken County in over a decade and could result in a death sentence if he is found guilty in the 2011 killing of Aiken Public Safety officer Scotty Richardson. The prior death penalty case in Aiken was Hastings Arthur Wise in 2001 for a September 1997 workplace shooting spree at the former R E Phelan Co. plant that left four dead and three injured. Wise was convicted on multiple murder and weapon counts after a long jury-selection process moved to Beaufort County due to publicity.
