Blue Laws Clash Over Christmas Eve Opening At Columbiana Centre
The Columbiana Centre on the Richland Lexington line sought to open before noon on Christmas Eve but Lexington County would not permit early Sunday hours. The Columbia City Council granted permission, then withdrew after Lexington county balked, with Mayor Coble stressing regional cooperation and the mall’s early opening for a special Christmas Eve concert may be rescinded at Friday’s council meeting.

Death row inmate may be set free
Edward Lee Elmore, 41, seeks overturning of his 1962 murder and sexual assault conviction based on new DNA evidence. His attorneys contend hairs on the victim Dorothy Edwards could not match him and allege a jailhouse informant lied, with another deceased suspect tied to a 1960s affair. If successful, a third trial could ensue.
