2/9/23 Thursday, Trail Day 1: Harrington will now have a bench trial, scheduled to take place on 2/13/23 at the Marlboro County Courthouse in Bennettsville. Initial testimony will be taken on 2/9/23 in Bennettsville because one of the State’s witnesses will be unavailable during the week of February 13.
Circuit Judge Michael Nettles is conducting a bench trial in the case, meaning there is no jury. Prosecutors said Harrington recently waived his right to a jury trial in an agreement that removed the death-penalty option if he is convicted. Only one witness is expected to testify on Thursday. The witnesses’ testimony was scheduled in advance of Monday’s start date for the trial because the person was not available next week.
Harrington has filed: Motion to have a solicitor provide written notice of evidence, Motion to prevent the state from seeking the death penalty against him, Motion to preclude public shackling, Motion for complete redecoration & transcript of all proceedings, Motion prohibiting defendant from being in jail clothing, Motion to incorporate all federal & state constitutional bases, Motion specially setting hearings on all pretrial motions, Motion to require constitutional grand jury proceedings, Motion for an order compelling heightened scrutiny & motion for non-waiver of rights.
Three witnesses for the State testified Thursday, including a radiologist & forensic scientist.
