Aiken court hushes DSS case as proceedings begin
Proceedings were closed to protect defendant and state in the DSS workers shooting case at the Aiken County Judicial Center. Hill wore a green prison jumpsuit with his defense team while prosecutors sat with officers and public defenders. Nearby relatives watched as the case moved toward motions and preliminaries, before the trial. The article also notes the 1980s Phelan plant shooting in which Hastings Wise faced murder charges. Wise was hospitalized after a drug-related incident and jailed without a death penalty notice. Operation Santa outreach plans for Dec. 5 include gifts for about 300 mentally ill clients, supported by the Mental Health Association and donations due by Dec. 2.
