Poker players to get hearing
MOUNT PLEASANT Five “Texas Hold ‘em” poker players fighting gambling tickets from an April 2006 police raid finally get to argue that their case should be tossed out. South Carolina’s anti-gambling laws are unconstitutional and unenforceable, they contend, and will ask a municipal court judge Friday to dismiss the case outright.
