‘Talking out of both sides of your mouth’: Judge presses probation agency in Warren Perry hearing

A judge recently questioned the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services regarding their approval of convicted sex offender Warren Perry to volunteer at a local church. During a hearing to consider revoking Perry's probation, the judge criticized the agency's handling of the case. The state argued that Perry violated probation conditions by having contact with minors, a claim supported by evidence from his phone.
