My question involves juvenile law in the State of: South Carolina.
At 17 years old, a boy pled guilty to ABWIK which was supposed to be reduced to a non violent offense of ABHAN. He pled guilty and was sentenced to a term of 1 to 4 years ad a Youthful Offender. Because he committed another violent crime after serving one year of his first sentence, the state claims he is not eligible for parole pursuant to section 24-21-640. But how can this be when the original juvenile conviction and sentence could not legally be for committing a violent crime because youthful offenders cannot be convited of violent crimes in South Carolina? The state refuses to correct its error becauase it lost the paperwork showing the ABWIK charge was suppose to have been reduced to ABHAN. What are this guy's options now that he is 42 years old, to be eligible for parole?
