Defamation verdict ties Tony Soprano comment to $7.4 million
Charleston attorney Paul Hulsey was ordered to pay $7.4 million for defaming Lawton Limehouse Sr by likening him to Tony Soprano. The jury found the statements harmed Limehouse's business and caused mental distress. Hulsey argued lack of proper defense due to filing delays and court rulings. Limehouse praised the verdict but declined further comment.

Orangeburg Massacre remembered forty years on
The Orangeburg Massacre on February 8, 1968, is remembered at South Carolina State University though many locals avoid discussion. Three students were killed during protests against a segregated bowling alley as troopers fired on marchers, injuring about 30. Nine troopers were charged but acquitted, and one wounded student later called for a probe while others urge not to dwell on the past. The FBI has not reopened its case, though the Justice Department continues review.
