The prosecutor's review committee must include, but is not limited to, a member of the staff of the Attorney General, an elected circuit solicitor, and a victim's representative. The Attorney General or his designee shall be the chairman of the committee. In addition to the records and reports considered pursuant to Section 44-48-50, the committee must also consider information provided by the circuit solicitor who prosecuted the person.
