The South Carolina Acknowledgement of Notification of Right to be Present at Trial is a document used in criminal proceedings in the state of South Carolina. It is used to ensure that a defendant is aware of their right to be present at their trial. The document states that the defendant has been informed of their rights to be present at trial, to have an attorney present, and to have a court-appointed attorney if the defendant is unable to afford one. It also outlines the consequences of not being present at trial, including the potential for a guilty verdict or other judgment to be entered against the defendant in their absence. There are two types of South Carolina Acknowledgement of Notification of Right to be Present at Trial: one for a defendant who is represented by an attorney, and one for a defendant who is not represented by an attorney. Both types must be signed by the defendant in the presence of a court officer, and must be filed with the court.
