Motion For 90-Day Extension Filed In Cheever Case

As the Sept. 30 deadline is fast approaching in Scott Cheever’s 2018 appeal case, his attorney requested a 90-day extension on Monday, Sept. 8.

Cheever was sentenced to death row for killing Greenwood County Sheriff Matt Samuels in 2005 as Samuels was trying to serve a search warrant. Cheever was convicted of capital murder in 2007. He was also sentenced to over 700 months in prison for attempted capital murder, manufacturing methamphetamine and conspiracy to manufacture meth.
