Anderson, 312 S.C. 185, 187, 439 S.E.2d 835, 836 (1993) (holding prosecutors are prohibited from appearing as the sole witness before the grand jury); Weathers v. State, 319 S.C. 59, 459 S.E.2d 838 (1995) (regularity of proceedings in general sessions court is presumed); State v. James, 321 S.C. 75, 79, 472 S.E.2d 38, 40 (Ct. App. 1996) (explaining absent evidence to the contrary, the regularity and legality of proceedings before a grand jury is presumed).
