Governor signs domestic violence bill

A bill signed this week by Governor Haley means further trouble for those people who are deemed guilty of violence in the home place. With Pickens County Senator Larry Martin among those by her side, Haley signed the domestic violence bill S. 3. Among the changes are enhanced penalties, by tripling the penalty for the lowest offense from 30 days to 90 days and by doubling the penalty for the highest offense from 10 years to 20 years.
