Supreme Court of South Carolina June 6, 2012, No. 27129 (State v. Tapp)

Justice PLEICONES.

I respectfully dissent. I agree with the majority that the issue of the admissibility of Agent Prodan’s testimony was preserved for appellate review, and that the trial judge erred in admitting Prodan’s testimony without determining that the evidence was reliable. I disagree, however, that the admission of that testimony was harmless error.
