Sidney Moorer's attorney appeals conviction to S.C. Supreme Court

Both are also Appealing Kidnapping Convictions ..

Tammy @ Sidney Moorer

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WPDE) — Sidney Moorer is appealing his 2017 obstruction of justice conviction in the Heather Elvis case to the S.C. Supreme Court.

Elvis was 20-years-old when she disappeared. The Socastee woman's car was found at Peachtree Landing in December 2013.

After the S.C. Court of Appeals denied his appeal to overturn the conviction in July, Moorer's attorney, Susan Barber Hackett, with the Office of Appellate Defense, said they've filed a petition asking the higher court to review it.

Moorer was found guilty in August 2017 of obstructing justice and sentenced to 10 years in jail, with credit for 1 year of time he has already served.

Barber Hackett wrote in the petition that the Court of Appeals erred by keeping the trial judge's decision to deny Moorer's directed verdict motion.

A directed verdict motion is a motion that a defendant's attorney makes to the trial judge to dismiss the charges, arguing that the government has failed to prove its case. The judge will either grant or deny the motion. If it is granted, the case is over and the defendant wins. If the motion is denied, as it usually is, the defense is given the opportunity to present its evidence, according to the American Bar Association.

The trial judge denied the motion in 2017.

At the end of the trial in 2017, Judge R. Markley Dennis, Jr., said part of the reason for the sentence was to send a message to the community that people can't hinder an investigation.

"We have to get the public to understand what we heard over and over again, every minute counts and it does and it makes a difference," Denis said at the time. "You delayed the process, you hindered the process and we can't have that going on in our community."

The court of appeals said at the time that their decision to uphold the trial judge's decision was based upon its conclusion that Moorer's "lies and omissions to police constituted obstruction of justice where the undisputed evidence showed no change in the police investigation as a result and no impact on any judicial proceedings," according to the petition.

The court of appeals ruled that "the trial court did not err in denying Moorer's motion for a directed verdict because substantial circumstantial evidence existed reasonably tending to prove Moorer's guilt."

Barber Hackett said "We are hopeful the South Carolina Supreme Court will review Mr. Moorer’s case, reverse his conviction, and provide additional guidance to the citizens of South Carolina on the exact contours of the criminal offense of obstruction of justice."

Now, the matter could be reviewed by the state supreme court. As of Tuesday, the state supreme court had not made a decision yet on whether to hear the case according to its roster.

Even if the state supreme court were to side with Moorer and overturn his conviction, he would still be in prison on a separate conviction.

In September 2019, Moorer was sentenced to 30 years in prison on the charges of kidnapping and conspiracy to kidnap. His wife, Tammy Moorer, was also convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Tammy and Sidney Moorer are both appealing their convictions for those cases. They were both originally charged with Elvis' murder, but those charges were dropped.

As of December 2020, Elvis still hasn't been found.

Chicago crime statistics show shootings, murders up 50% in 2020; 2 shot by stray gunfire in South Chicago in first shooting of 2021 ..

According to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office, Minniefield was one of 875 people who died from gun violence last year; 78% of the victims were Black.

"That is by far the highest total of gun-related homicides we have ever had. The only time we came anywhere near that was in 1994 when we had 838 homicides due to gun violence," said Natalia Derevyanny, Spokeswoman for the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

"I see so many on TV and I've watched so many innocent children -- kids get killed and I never would have dreamed a day in my life that I would feel the pain that they feel," Minniefield said.

Gun violence deaths were not the only record-breaker for the year. Cook County also recorded a total of 16,049 deaths in 2020, which was also a record.

Chicago police also released the final crime number for 2020 Friday which showed that shootings and murders jumped up by more than 50% in 2020.

In 2020, there were 769 murders, up considerably compared to the 495 murders tallied in 2019.

As for shootings, the city logged 3,261 last year, a big jump from 2,140 shootings in 2019. The number of shooting victims climbed to 4,033 in 2020, up from 2,598 in 2019.

This illustrating a skyrocketing year for violence after three years of progress where many innocent children were killed and some police also became targets of gunfire.

Nearly a quarter of the murders happened on the West Side.

*As long as we hide from the true reason for all these deaths and

shootings we will never stop it .... Blacks killing blacks. ..Sad.
