The primary runoff election for the Republican nomination for South Carolina Attorney is next week, Tuesday June 23rd. The contest pits David Stumbo currently the SC 8th Judicial Circuit Solicitor against SC Sen. Stephen Goldfinch.
Whoever wins the Republican nomination will be the odds-on favorite to win the general election in November to become the state’s chief legal officer and chief criminal prosecutor.
It is important that voters know the background of a candidate seeking such an important position. To date, questions remain about a federal case involving Goldfinch and the improper handling of stem cells which was dismissed because of administrative neglect in 2017.
Grand Strand Daily contacted the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division, for the documents on the case.
According to records from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division, Goldfinch “aided and abetted by others known and unknown to the United States Attorney, caused the introduction and delivery for introduction into interstate commerce stem cells that were misbranded in that the stem cells and packaging did not contain directions for use.”
According to the charging document, the stem cells referred to, (harvested for research only), were instead sold to clinics to treat patients with severe diseases such as multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in violation of federal law.
