The 48th Aiken Spring Steeplechase prompts safety advice from the Aiken Department of Public Safety. Gates open at 9 30 a m with the Village of Shops at 10 a m and first race at 1 p m. Traffic control checkpoints aim to ease arrivals and departures.
In its 18th year Project VISION, a United Way of Aiken County effort, mobilized 240 plus Savannah River Site employees into 24 teams to repair and improve agencies. Volunteers painted walls at the Salvation Army Shelter, rebuilt light fixtures, and mended facilities serving 50 to 75 residents daily.
Partly cloudy conditions with a high near 76 and a low around 52 are forecast for the next five days. Expect mild days with cooler nights and limited precipitation.
Aiken County reports a surge in guilty pleas this year for serious crimes. Joshua Eichman admitted stabbing a man in his apartment after a jury was seated, Derek Brooks pleaded guilty to raping and beating a downtown woman, and Joshua Jones pleaded guilty in a Maiming case of Master Cpl. Sandy Rogers. The Solicitors office handles about 3,000 cases yearly with 26 weeks of court, and Chief Solicitor J Strom Thurmond Jr. notes about 90 percent plead guilty for efficiency.
The article outlines that before a defendant pleads guilty he must understand and waive rights including a jury trial, right to remain silent, to call witnesses, and to confront the accuser. Judge ensures understanding, then accepts the plea and reviews case facts with the solicitor.
