In this episode, we dissect one of South Carolina’s most shocking examples of systemic failure in the criminal justice system. Alexander Devonte Dickey, a career criminal, racked up 35 years’ worth of suspended sentences across multiple cases—all while judges repeatedly let him walk free. This pattern of judicial leniency culminated in the senseless murder of 22-year-old Logan Federico, sparking national outrage and a congressional hearing. We explore how South Carolina’s unique judicial appointment system, political influence, and legal loopholes allowed this dangerous cycle to continue unchecked. Featuring unfiltered testimony from Logan’s grieving father, we examine the consequences of a broken system, the role of prosecutors, and the urgent need for legislative reform to prevent future tragedies. From suspended sentences to systemic corruption, this episode reveals how the law failed and why justice must be reimagined.
