While rumors in the state capital are stirring about the SLED inquiry, this news outlet can confirm that Few justice – one of the only pro-free voices in the left-wing Supreme Court – is not a focus of investigation.
“Judge Few is not being investigated,” a source familiar with the investigation told us.

This news took many politicians from Palmetto by surprise, especially considering the extent to which Stephanie Few sang praises to her husband in public – including a blog post published on the website Women in Leadership SC earlier this year.
“As women leaders, we also need great teams around us,” wrote Few. “Those who are our own champions, and for me, that includes my husband. A brilliant and loving partner who loves a strong woman is a great partner, a treasure! It certainly makes this wonderful and complex road even more enjoyable. To start and end your days with the one you love – what could be more valuable? “
A SLED spokesman declined to discuss the pending investigation with this media – although he has confirmed that justice. not subject of any active investigations at the agency.
Agency sources told us that the investigation involving Few’s wife is still active, but is “slowing down” – and that criminal charges are not must be filed in connection with the investigation.
