Trial for slain officer moved to Aiken by judge
Circuit Court Judge Clifton Newman denied defense motions to move venue for the capital murder case of Stephen Carter. The trial of the Aiken Department of Public Safety officer slaying of Master Public Safety Officer Scotty Richardson will be heard in Aiken County unless impartial jurors cannot be seated, with Beaufort County as a potential alternative. The Dec 20, 2011, traffic stop killings also cited by defense as inflaming public sentiment.
