End nears in multi defendant trial over forensic evidence
The defense has not revealed strategies for Harlow and Grant. Wise, aged 46, may or may not testify during the guilt phase. If found guilty a second trial could occur two days later followed by a punishment phase to decide life versus death. Cooper notes a shortened process but vows the state and defense needs will not be sacrificed.

Lottery opponents push to track South Carolina plan through rollout
Geddings says a majority of churchgoers back Hodges lottery scheme while Mack of the Lottery Accountability Board aims to monitor the bill to implementation. Proposals include funding for gambling addiction aid and a credit card ban, with escrow of lottery profits for a year before scholarships or school funding. Columbia attorney Wingate pledges early ideas to ensure transparency. The Christian Action Council backs independent five year reviews and strict ad and game rules, with Hodges possibly supportive of oversight.

Aiken keeps curbside recycling strong nationwide pioneer
The City of Aiken’s curbside recycling program began in 1990 as a pilot on 20 percent of residents and became citywide in May. By June 2000 about 53 percent of solid waste was diverted from landfills. The program relies on North Augusta’s MRF for processing and includes yard waste composting, selling $100 per five cubic yard loads to residents.
