A federal judge on Tuesday cut a prison sentence in half for a registered South Carolina sex offender serving prison time on a federal gun charge...
Kenneth Glenn Hinson had been serving a 25-year sentence. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Terry Wooten resentenced the Darlington County man to just under 10 years in prison during a hearing in Florence, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Beth Drake...
In his appeal, Hinson argued that the sentencing judge should not have taken a 1989 cocaine trafficking conviction into account -- a decision that meant Hinson faced 15 years to life in prison on the weapons charge, not the 10-year maximum he would have otherwise faced...
In court filings leading up to Tuesday's hearing, his attorneys said Hinson should receive no more than six years. Hinson already has appealed the new sentence to the same court that threw out his original sentence, according to court papers filed Tuesday.
