South Carolina’s highest court ruled that a controversial arousal test was too unreliable to be used as evidence to keep a predator behind bars.
The unanimous ruling by the South Carolina Supreme Court, issued last month, centered on a s*x offender named Andy Hyman.
After pleading guilty to second-degree criminal s*xual conduct involving a minor in 1997, Hyman served a short prison sentence and completed several years of supervised release in 2003.
