[SC Swamp Fox]

It doesn't matter...both SC and GA have the death penalty. It matters where she was killed.

Even if the killing took place in SC, GA can charge him burglary and kidnapping. SC could charge for the murder and put him to death.

Thanks, Swamp Fox, we don't know where she was killed, or do we? Apparently, there was evidence of "foul play" in the home, so possibly the murder happened there. But still, if that is the case, he would have had to transport her body across the state line. Somehow, like the Alice Donovan case, I believe this will end up in federal court. Kidnapping/murder in federal court can end in a death penalty. (I'm just surmising here).
