COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A legislator indicted on allegations of beating his wife should resign, leaders of the South Carolina Legislature said Thursday, with one lawmaker calling it "terrifying and horrific" to hear children on a 911 call screaming for their daddy to stop.
The comments come a day after Rep. Chris Corley was indicted on felony domestic violence charges and suspended from his House seat.
State law requires an officeholder indicted on a felony to be suspended. Corley's wife told deputies he stopped hitting her on Dec. 26 only after noticing she was bleeding and hearing the screams of two of their three children, ages 2 and 8.
. . .
Corley is charged with pointing a firearm and domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature, which alone is punishable by 20 years. The indictment accuses him of hitting his wife in the face, head and body with a closed fist and with a gun while in the presence of children.
