GEORGETOWN COUNTY, S.C. (WPDE) — Fifteenth Circuit Solicitor Jimmy Richardson announces that on Friday, June 17, a Georgetown County jury convicted a Georgetown woman of armed robbery and she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole under the South Carolina two strikes law.
Shannon Lane Bone, 40, of Georgetown, was convicted of armed robbery Friday afternoon following a trial that began with jury selection and motions on Monday, said Liz Smith, the assistant solicitor, who along with Deputy Solicitor Alicia Richardson prosecuted the case for the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office.
Bone was convicted of robbing the 521 Mini Mart located on Highway 521 between Andrews and Georgetown at 6:45 a.m. Dec. 31, 2017, Smith said.
Bone wore a mask and hooded shirt and presented a gun to the clerk when she took cash, cigarettes and candy from the store, reports stated.
Other employees in the store chased after the vehicle Bone left in and gave police her license tag number, which was registered to her.
Employees also realized she had been inside the store about 2 a.m. that morning. Both events were caught on the store’s surveillance camera system. She was arrested Jan. 4, 2018, in Alabama.
Because Bone had a prior conviction of attempted armed robbery from 2003 in Louisiana and served a seven-year prison sentenced, Friday’s conviction was her second strike under South Carolina’s two strikes law.
She also had convictions in South Carolina for burglary in 2001 and 2013 and a 2015 conviction of unlawful conduct toward a child. Bone also has a pending murder charge in Georgetown County and that will be scheduled for trial at a later date.
“I want to thank the jury for taking the time on this case and convicting Shannon Bone,” Smith said. “I also want to thank law enforcement for their pursuit of justice in this case."
And some never have their wrists in manacles at all.
(You'll not find it anywhere in these January 6th 'hearings'.)
“Other employees in the store chased after the vehicle Bone left in and gave police her license tag number, which was registered to her.... Employees also realized she had been inside the store about 2 a.m. that morning...”
She doesn’t sound like the brightest of people.
I think she was just looking to go back to jail for the 3 hots and a cot.
