Charleston Burglars Arrested
Charleston police have arrested two men for burglary charges from several areas around Charleston. The defendants are alleged to have committed dozens of daylight burglaries in the Charleston area. Police have stated that one subject has admitted to participating in several of the burglaries. In South Carolina, these burglaries are taken very seriously and the defendants will be facing a substantial amount of prison time if convicted. It will be impossible to prove all the burglary cases against these men because of the volume of cases. The key to defending these cases against these men will be to prevent them from confessing for all the alleged burglaries. Many times the police department in South Carolina will close many cases with one defendant based only on the statements of the defendant. There is apparently at least one eye witness against one of the defendants. The defendant was identified in a photographic lineup. Eye witness identification has come under extreme scrutiny in the past several years because of many misidentifications causing innocent men to be sent to prison. One key issue for any Charleston attorney that represents this defendant will be a motion to suppress the identification.
