Ex-mayor's sentence cut in McColl case
FLORENCE The former mayor Verd Odom had his probation reduced from five years to one year after pleading guilty to using his office for personal gain. A $500 fine remains. Odom’s attorney David Keller said the punishment was too severe. He cited use of a public vehicle in an election and failure to disclose public improvements in a subdivision where he and his wife own property. Assistant AG Jack Riordan called the action a sign of lack of respect for the crimes.

Sexual predator bill clears Senate moving to House
The so called sexual predator bill, supported as a method to keep violent offenders off the streets, passed the Senate Thursday and moves to the House. Critics say it is unfair to those who already served their sentences as the bill would commit violent predators to the Mental Health Department after prison. The Senate added a new committee to classify predators, including corrections, parole, mental health, appellate defense, and a retired judge.
