Jury hears from a fifth plaintiff’s witness

The testimony of a new witness is underway late this afternoon at the Oconee Courthouse in the civil trial over what the jury heard were problems associated with ByPass 123 business property that changed hands in a sale in 2017.  Called by the plaintiff’s side, Danny Hutchinson told the jury that, as the owner of property across the 4-lane highway, he conducted his own investigation to determine the source of silt intrusion into a Lake Keowee cove.  Preceding Hutchinson to the stand today were property buyers Terri Anderson and Tommy Stevenson.
