Waterboro Man Seeks Reduction Of Life Sentence
Ernest H. McCormick of Waterboro seeks a second deduction of his life sentence for killing his second wife seven years ago. Attorney Charles Smith argues the system should not be vengeance while Norman and Mary Taylor oppose, saying the 1957 verdict was fair and the wife’s alleged nagging is unproven. The motion follows a prior commutation from life to 15 years to life, with parole possible in 1969 if time off for good behavior.
