Okay this is real long so I'll do my best to shorten it all....I'm Ken Dye, II
Hi Ken! I'm here to help. Could you please provide a brief description of your legal issue?
Er Ken Dye, III sorry.
Hey Ken! No worries about the mix-up. Could you share a brief description of the legal issue you're facing?
My now-deceaded 'dad' pulled a stunt on me in *....huge Narcissist; known liar and thief. He was involved with a far younger woman (he liked 'em young - barely legal age sometimes not even legal but anyway) and she hated me too. No laws agianst that, but what they did was horrible. I just found out the truth months ago from my adopted/stepsister a nurse.
Hi Ken! I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Could you provide more details about the "stunt" your dad pulled on you? This will help me understand the legal issue better and provide relevant information.
Dad lived in N.C. and I'm in S.C. His "girl friend" apparently put a self-inflicted wound on her face and then told him she heard a big 'bang' and felt something on her face. Long story short, she accused me of 'winging her with a shotgun' to 'send a message.' I've shot a shotgun maybe 4 days in my LIFE and I KNOW a shotgun is NOT the weapon of choice for that sort of thing. Well, he went to his 3rd ex-wife in Columbia, SC., and convinced her to file a false statement - she TOLD LIES UNDER OATH - that I 'have guns and I threatened her' - I hadn't talked to her in any way in decades. There's some 'law' in S.C. that is HIGHLY abused where all you have to do is go to court, pay the bribe, and accuse someone of something and the cops go grab that person and kidnap them ONLY ON HER WORD....

You can do an online search and find a news story about me from * I Think....all I was doing is getting help with yard work - I can't do much - and I Was outside when the cops came and hauled me off. Linda simply lied in court about it all, under some stupid law ripe for abuse

If so, please provide some more information about the issue, such as if there were any legal repercussions you faced due to these accusations.
The only 'legal repurcussions' I faced were being held againt my will at the hospital overnight...in my condition, it sent me into depression for 15 months where all I could do was lie on the couch and stare at the ceiling and cry....she made sure I never would get better. She apparently wanted to hurt me and this gave her the excuse to do it. No "I'm sorry" or apology or even admitting she did wrong. Her daughter shrugged it off a few months ago saying, "She thought she was helping Ken (my lying narcissistic dad)"

I'm here to assist, but it seems like you've already provided your phone number. Let's proceed with collecting more details to connect you with local lawyers. Could you please provide your email address and zipcode?

Is there anything else I can help you with?
I am pretty sure the statute of limitation has passed but I was afraid if I sued for damages that 'dad' would have me KILLED if he pulled what he did...that's why I didn't speak up until now. He passed last May I think or late April
Case Rating: *
Ken, the statute of limitations can vary depending on the specific legal claim. In Georgia, the statute of limitations for defamation is typically one year, but certain circumstances might extend this period. Given the emotional distress involved, consulting with a lawyer can clarify your options. Would you like to know more about the statute of limitations in Georgia for specific claims?
Why are you worried about Georgia? I am in S.C. I thought that's why you wanted my zip code....?
I apologize for the mix-up. Since you're in South Carolina, let's focus on that. In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for defamation is generally two years. Since this is a complex situation involving emotional distress, it would be beneficial to discuss this with a lawyer to explore all possible options. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
no
