Court says ex patients need not be warned on release
The South Carolina Court of Appeals rules mental health agencies do not have to warn police or the public when a potentially dangerous patient is released. The decision, written by Judge Randall T. Bell, cites that such warnings would be routine and ineffective in preventing tragedies like the 1979 killing of Bobby Sharpe in a Lexington County trailer park. Levits, released from a Columbia psychiatric hospital months earlier, shot Sharpe after a dispute about noise.
