Darrell Kasey Williams
The case of Darrell Kasey Williams will be an informative one. It will once again showcase the flaws in our bond system and the 9th Circuit Solicitor’s Office and her lack of prosecution for gun crimes. Let’s begin our journey at the very beginning of Williams’ criminal career.
2009 Charges - Charleston County:
2nd Offense PWID Marijuana - Pled guilty. Sentenced by Judge Thomas “Felon’s Friend” Hughston to 13 days.
Possession of Marijuana - Dismissed.
PWID Crack Near a School - Dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor.
PWID Crack - Pled guilty. Sentenced by Judge Roger Young to a YOA term not to exceed 6 years, suspended in favor of 2 years probation.
2010 Charges - Charleston County:
PWID Crack - Dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor.
PWID Crack Near a School - Dismissed at preliminary hearing because Judge James “Rainbows and Unicorns” claimed there was no probable cause.
Possession of a Stolen Vehicle - Dismissed at preliminary hearing because Judge James “Rainbows and Unicorns” Gosnell claimed there was no probable cause.
You folks happen to “know” the officer who filed those charges because she was featured on an episode of Dateline NBC. She doesn’t seem like the type to go around locking people up without probable cause.
2011 Charges - Berkeley County:
Failure to Stop for Blue Lights - Pled guilty. Sentenced by Judge Roger Young to 3 years.
Unlawful Carrying of a Pistol - Dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor.
Possession of a Stolen Pistol - Dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor.
3rd Offense Trafficking Crack Cocaine - Dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor.
Two (2) Counts of PWID Crack Near a School - Dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor.
Note: The 3 charges immediately above were dismissed even though several bench warrants for failure to appear had to be issued for Williams.
Trafficking Cocaine - Pled guilty. Sentenced by Judge Roger Young to 5 years suspended in favor of 8 (yes, 8) months probation.
2011 Charges - Charleston County:
Hit and Run Property Damage - Dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor.
Failure to Stop for Blue Lights - Dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor.
2012 Charges - Berkeley County:
Possession of Prescription Narcotics - Dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor.
Unlawful Carrying of a Pistol - Dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor.
Note that the Trafficking conviction above is a bar to Williams ever legally possessing a firearm, yet there was no effort to charge him with felon in possession by the officer or the solicitor and Scarlett Wilson still dismissed the unlawful carrying charge.
2012 Charges - Charleston County:
Failure to Stop for Blue Lights - Reduced to Reckless Driving by the 9th Circuit Solicitor. Sentenced by Judge Thomas “Felon’s Friend” Hughston to 2 days time served.
Here is where things get really interesting. In January of 2013 Williams was charged with Murder in the killing of Deandre White at 130 Jean Wells Drive. Williams was released on a $250,000 bond in October of 2014. It looks like that bond was revoked in December of 2014.
Let’s see what transpired in between.
In May of 2014, while out on bond on the murder charge, Williams was charged in Berkeley County with Unlawful Carrying of a Pistol. He was released on 12 May on a $100,000 bond.
In spite of being free on bond on a pending murder charge.
Eight days later, on 20 May, Williams was charged with the felony of Habitual Traffic Offender. He was released on bond yet again. This time he got a $5,000 bond from Sheriff DeWitt’s buddy, Judge Polk.
In spite of having his bond revoked in December 2014, Williams was running around free earlier today when he was arrested and charged with Attempted Murder. He hasn’t had a bond hearing on that charge yet.
Just a reminder that we are tracking gun charges this year as we run through the criminal histories of these thugs. Those charges include unlawful carrying of a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm, pointing and presenting a firearm and felon in possession of a firearm. Let’s see what the statistics tell us at the end of the year
Williams has had four gun charges. Three have been dismissed by the 9th Circuit Solicitor and one is still pending.
The results of the gun charge dispositions you are tracking will be fascinating!
Fools tell us we need more “common sense gun regulations”, meanwhile we have all the common sense gun laws we need (plus others that are onerous and stupid) and we just dismiss those arrested!
