Dr. Boyle Escalates Court Battle with Danny Singleton
Boyle demands the judicial community hold Judge Singleton, one of their own, accountable!!
In a bold and decisive move, Dr. Jason Michael Boyle has escalated his legal battle against Oconee County Probate Judge Danny Singleton by filing a motion for sanctions on August 27, 2024. This motion follows Boyle’s earlier appeal and represents a significant step in holding Judge Singleton accountable for what Boyle describes as "flagrant judicial misconduct" and "unconstitutional overreach." Boyle’s motion specifically targets Singleton’s actions throughout the case, alleging multiple violations of judicial conduct standards as outlined in South Carolina's Code of Judicial Conduct.
The motion for sanctions meticulously details each of Judge Singleton’s alleged transgressions, including his improper assumption of roles as prosecutor, witness, and judge, his misuse of case numbers, and his failure to ensure that a South Carolina Supreme Court Administrative Order was properly posted. Boyle’s motion also emphasizes Singleton’s own admission in open court that the case had nothing to do with the Doyle Pierce estate—yet he inexplicably continued to use the estate’s case number in legal proceedings. Boyle argues that this conduct not only violated procedural rules but also undermined the integrity of the entire judicial process.
Boyle’s motion is not just a demand for procedural correction; it is a forceful call for sanctions, including the disqualification of Judge Singleton from any further involvement in the case and a full judicial inquiry into his actions. By filing this motion, Boyle is not only seeking justice for himself but is also challenging the broader issue of unchecked judicial power in South Carolina. The outcome of this motion could have far-reaching implications, potentially setting new precedents for judicial accountability and the protection of constitutional rights within the state’s legal system.
As Boyle continues his fight against what he sees as a gross abuse of power, the legal community and the public alike will be closely watching how the courts respond. Boyle’s case, now bolstered by this motion for sanctions, underscores the critical importance of maintaining the rule of law and ensuring that those entrusted with judicial authority are held to the highest standards of conduct.
