South Carolina Supreme Court Grants New Trial for Death Row Inmate
The court ruled Robert Lee Nance received ineffective counsel at his 1992 trial for the Fraley murders and related crimes. Defense co counsel was heavily medicated and short in presentation, with seven minutes at sentencing and no qualified expert for a mental health defense. The ruling orders a new trial on grounds of inadequate defense and procedural errors.
