Letters: Bench is no place for psychiatrist

SC Circuit Judge Alison Renee Lee

High praise to Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews for calling out Circuit Court Judge Alison Lee in the handling of the Tyreek Lorenzo Bush-Robinson case. How many crimes does he have to commit before he becomes accountable?

Judge Lee has no place on the bench. She dishes out probation more like a psychiatrist than a judge. She is a disgrace to the people she serves and should be removed. I cannot help but wonder whether race played a role in Bush-Robinson’s case.
