He was arrested and you can see the warrant on the internet. We will have to see what happens when he gets his day in court. You can see from the warrant that they have tape of him admitting to the charges. Both should be considered innocent until proven otherwise. Too many here are quick to attack the stepdaughter just because they like the politics of the wife of the accused.

You can sell her to the rest of the country but it will be SC that will be watching the trial and many here think the world of him but they just might have been misled.

Unfortunate for all but until the trial we just won’t know but it is baggage that she carries into the race, there’s no denying that.

You're right; we'll wait and see. Just remember all the “evidence” Nifong had too, according to his warrants. Those boys were also arrested. Merely being arrested means little or nothing about one's guilt or innocence. I've seen plenty of misleading and overstated statements in arrest warrants. It's not uncommon, and is less about politics than it is zealousness for headlines.

I'm leery, having read the article and her blog. I'm not attacking the stepdaughter, although I do think she perhaps has “issues” as the youth say today, but I am skeptical, it's possible that it's the defense attorney in me. My skepticism has nothing to do with politics.

Unfortunately, too many think that to be skeptical is a personal attack. It's not. I don't know the girl, but her story doesn't jive with me. It's not a personal attack to point that out. Too often, I've seen empathy for “victims” overrule any objectivity that one would use to judge the facts. The more terrible and horrendeous the claims the harder it is to look at things objectively. However, just as you say some are quick to attack the stepdaughter because of “politics” of the third party candidate, others are just as quick to assume the guilt of Mr. Jenerette because of sheer horror of the claims she makes.

It's a shame regardless, that any baggage would follow the candidate, as she is merely a third party, who took no part in the events, and actually, I happen to like her politics. I wish the candidate the best and the rest will be what it will be.
