Re: Penalty for meth.posession in SC
Any amount will constitute possession. There is no minimum amount. As far as the bond is concerned, I can't tell you why the judge set it at $5,000 without knowing more about the case, the defendant, the defendant's record, age, state of residency, work history, etc. These are all things that the judge considers when setting a bond. I practice in Horry and Georgetown Counties and statewide for certain cases. You are welcome to call or write for any other questions. Robert Johnston
