Grand Jury Law Faces Ballot Narrowing For Statewide Powers

State Ban On Rappers Ruled Out
South Carolina will not pursue a statewide grand jury probe into the rap group 2 Live Crew or ban its album As Nasty As They Wanna Be. State Attorney General Travis Medlock said county grand juries should decide obscenity issues, and the state grand jury is tied up with drug cases. Some counties have already banned sales, while solicitors urge a broader ruling if other counties raise the issue.
