Judge denies Hammond Family’s request to remove Solicitor from Case

The South Carolina Supreme Court denied a request made by the family of Zachary Hammond to remove 10th Circuit Solicitor Chrissy Adams from the case. In July, 19-year-old Zachary Hammond was shot and killed by a Seneca Police Officer during an undercover drug investigation. Hammond’s family had petitioned the Supreme Court to remove Adams and consider another solicitor to prosecute the case.
