Summary
A 25-year-old man in Mount Pleasant pleaded guilty to firing shots at a car on Highway 17, wounding the driver and hitting the back seat—bullets traced through both. High on mushrooms, he claimed he thought the car was following him, but his lawyer stressed that wasn’t an excuse. He apologized, admitting he was scared and using drugs, yet the court didn’t buy it. Originally charged with attempted murder, the case was downgraded to discharging a firearm at an occupied vehicle—a charge carrying up to 10 years. The judge sentenced him to eight years, suspended to five active, plus three years probation—with credit for time served. The victim, present in court, begged for justice. A sobering tale of how poor choices can spiral into irreversible harm. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
