Examining Capital Punishment in South Carolina Jan 03, 2025

Show notes

This episode examines the South Carolina Capital punishment.

How is it decided whether a murder becomes a capital offense? Who decides whether someone might face the death penalty?

Why was Alex Murdaugh not charged with a capital offense?

Those questions and more are answered by former U.S. States Attorney for the District of South Carolina, Bill Nettles.

Nettles discusses a very interesting case in which he defended a man on death row.

Bill Nettles possesses an extraordinary, almost unparalleled depth and breadth of experience. You cannot find an attorney who will be better equipped to provide you with the high-quality representation you deserve.

Mr. Nettles was appointed United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina by President Obama and was sworn into that office on May 3, 2010. As the US Attorney, he dramatically overhauled the office to focus on public corruption, fraud and white collar crime, while also greatly increasing resources to the extraordinarily important false claims whistleblower division. Under Mr. Nettles’ leadership, the US Attorney’s office made white collar crime and public corruption the highest priority of the criminal division’s efforts. He also earned national praise for the innovative and intelligent approach his office took to drug crimes.

Mr. Nettles was the longest serving US attorney since the 1960’s, ensuring he had an extraordinary impact on the personnel and the policies of that important office. Because of his service as the United States Attorney for the entire state of South Carolina he has worked with the heads of the Department of Justice to help shape policy for the last 5 and a half years.

Before being appointed a US Attorney, Mr. Nettles graduated from The Citadel and earned his law degree at The Widener University School of Law, where he was on law review and was a member of the moot court honor society. After graduating, he began a career that has taken him into every corner of the legal system.

Starting in 2005, he worked at Sanders & Nettles, LLC until being appointed the US Attorney.

If you find yourself in need of an experienced lawyer in South Carolina and you want to speak with our attorney about your case, please call the Law Office of Bill Nettles at 803-284-8906 for a free consultation.

Show notes

On October 28, 2022, Shanquella Robinson traveled with 6 people to Cabo,

Mexico for vacation. The next day she was pronounced dead in her vacation villa.

The first reports were that she died of alcohol poisoning.

Then an autopsy from Mexico listed her cause of death as violent and with severe neck and spinal injuries.

Her death became even more complicated when a video surfaced on social media of Shanquella being brutally beaten by one of her trip mates, Daejhanae Jackson, and filmed by another member of the group, named the Cabo 6.

An autopsy of Shanquella Robinson conducted in Charlotte on November 17, 2022, found Robinson’s spine intact, contradicting past claims by Mexican authorities who had initially said Robinson’s spine was broken

On Nov. 18, 2022 the FBI opened an investigation into the cause of Shanquella's death.

November 23, an arrest warrant was issued by authorities in Mexico levying charges of femicide in the Robinson case. No names were released.

Two years after Shanquella Robinson's death her mother's attorneys have filed lawsuits against "the Cabo Six", the U.S. State Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
