Jury awards $24 million in Columbia malpractice case after pilot's death

A jury in Columbia has awarded $24 million to the estate of a 36-year-old father and decorated F-16 fighter pilot who died after complications from a heart procedure, according to legal fillings. The jury found a radiologist at fault for failing to identify an esophageal perforation on a CT angiogram, and found the radiologist grossly negligent. The estate alleged the scan was read as normal despite the patient’s symptoms continuing for about a month after an ablation for atrial fibrillation. He died 12 days after the scan from complications related to the perforation. The verdict followed a two-week trial that began Oct. 26. It included $14,645,390 in non-economic damages for wrongful death. The patient’s estate had previously settled with the cardiologist who performed the ablation for $1.2 million. The patient was a commercial pilot, husband and father of two young daughters, according to the lawsuit. Plaintiff’s attorneys were John Kassel, Theile McVey and Jamie Raie Rutskoski of Kassel McVey, and Thad Myers. Mark S. Barrow and Marshall C. Crane of Sweeny Wingate & Barrow represented the radiologist.

Former employees allege discrimination by scandal-plagued mayor in latest lawsuit against SC town

CHAPIN — A bombshell lawsuit from five women who were fired from their town positions by Chapin Mayor Bill Mitchell accuse the mayor of sex-based and race-based discrimination, harassment and intimidation. It also alleges the town has known about Mitchell’s conduct for almost a year and has done nothing to reprimand him. “These women were simply doing their jobs, following the law, and speaking out against conduct they believed was wrong,” said attorney Deborah Barbier in a statement. “Instead of being protected, they lost their livelihoods. This case is about more than five women. It is about...

"She Does All the Things That Most Players Don't Wanna Do.": Dawn Staley Highlights South Carolina Star's Selfless Play After Scoreless Outing

Ashlyn Watkins did not have the kind of offensive outing that usually attracts attention in South Carolina’s 84-39 demolition of North Carolina. The fifth-year senior forward went scoreless in 17 minutes off the bench, missing all four of her field-goal attempts. But while the box score suggests a quiet night, Watkins was anything but invisible. She grabbed 10 rebounds, recorded a steal and a block, and helped the Gamecocks dominate the boards. Speaking about Watkins’ performance, a video of which Fox’s Matt Dowell shared on X, head coach Dawn Staley highlighted the forward’s contributions to ...
