Columbia S.C. (WSPA) - Attorney General Alan Wilson (R - South Carolina) led the 28th Annual Silent Witness Ceremony on Tuesday, honoring South Carolinians who lost their lives to domestic violence over the past year.
It was held on the steps of the State House, and it featured 46 life-sized red silhouettes, each one representing a known victim in South Carolina from 2024. Among them were 35 women and 11 men. A 47th silhouette stood in symbolic remembrance of victims whose deaths may never be reported or confirmed.
"We honor their memory by strengthening our commitment to justice, protection, and the prevention of violence. The reason you were here is because something horrible, horrific and tragic occurred, but you are here, nonetheless, and please know this you are not alone," said Wil
