NEW: In 2017, a powerful SC lawyer faced federal charges for murdering hawks on his plantation. Jim Clyburn wrote a letter on his behalf. He paid a paltry fine, and dodged years of jail time. His judge was Michelle Childs. By

Michelle Childs, Jim Clyburn, and One Man’s Love of Hunting Quail
A South Carolinian scion was facing stiff penalties for killing federally protected hawks. Rep. Clyburn asked Judge Michelle Childs to consider his character.

The man on the left got 12 years for 8 ounces of weed. The man on the right paid a fine for 30 federal crimes. They shared the same judge: Michelle Childs.
