SC attorney general candidates Stumbo and Hricik differ on Alex Murdaugh retrial

David Stumbo, the 8th Judicial Circuit solicitor and Republican candidate for S.C. attorney general, says he will be seriously engaged in the upcoming double murder retrial of Alex Murdaugh. “I plan to actively be on the team trying that case,” says Stumbo, 50, a veteran elected prosecutor whose largely Upstate circuit covers Abbeville, Greenwood, Laurens and Newberry counties. But Stumbo’s Democratic opponent, Richard Hricik (pronounced RISS-ick), 59, a Mount Pleasant attorney, likely will not be a constant presence at Murdaugh’s retrial. It begins April 5 in Sumter. Murdaugh is charged with the 2021 killings of his wife Maggie and son Paul at the family’s 1,700-acre estate in rural Colleton County. “The prosecution team has my full confidence to pursue justice,” said Hricik. “They know this case inside and out.” If he wins Tuesday’s election, Hricik said, his main focus will be on other duties of the attorney general’s office, including protecting consumers, safeguarding the environment, enforcing securities laws, issuing official legal opinions and protecting the public interest, according to his internet election page. In any event, most criminal prosecutions around South Carolina are handled mostly by the 16 elected circuit solicitors, or prosecutors, not the attorney general’s office, says Hricik.
