Victims Gain a Voice in South Carolina Courts
In 1984 South Carolina enacted the Victim's Bill of Rights to allow victims to be heard in court. The Second Circuit Solicitor's Office in Aiken County runs a Victim Witness Assistance Unit with Wren Hart as coordinator and Charlotte Foster as advocate, handling over 1,000 cases yearly and offering compensation support through Victim Impact Statements. The unit operates in Aiken and Barnwell with a satellite in Barnwell and hosts a volunteer training seminar at the Aiken County Council Building Monday evening.
