Legal Question in Criminal Law in South Carolina

Re: Evidence Tampering

If it could be shown that the evidence was tampered with, then that would certainly be grounds for your lawyer to move for a dismissal. But it depends on how strong of a showing is made. The prosecution, police, State, etc., have an obligation to preserve any and all evidence whether it is in their favor or yours. I would need to know more about the details of the case to make a prediction. There are way to having certain evidence immediately seized and preserved, so act quickly and get an attorney. Good luck.
