In this criminal appeal, Toaby Trapp appeals his conviction for trafficking crack cocaine, arguing the circuit court erred in (1) admitting drug evidence when the State failed to establish a strict chain of custody; (2) admitting testimonial evidence in violation of the Confrontation Clause; (3) failing to grant a Franks v. Delaware hearing and subsequently refusing to suppress evidence obtained as a result of the invalid search warrant; and (4) admitting Trapp's alleged confession without a Jackson v. Denno hearing when the totality of circumstances demonstrated Trapp's statements were involuntary and thus inadmissible.

Clifford D. Holley and Sharon Holley (collectively, the Holleys) appeal the circuit court's order granting summary judgment to Charles E. Oman and Janis M. Niemi (collectively, Respondents). On appeal, the Holleys raise the following issues: (1) whether the circuit court erred in holding Respondents' burial of organic debris on their property was not a material fact in the sale of the property; (2) whether a vendor of partially improved land has a duty to disclose known latent defects affecting the suitability of the land for further residential improvements; (3) whether a vendor's liability for failure to disclose land defects extends to a subvendee; (4) whether the circuit court erred in holding the Holleys' damages were not caused by Respondents' failure to disclose buried debris; and (5) whether a residential lot owner who constructs home foundation footers on the lot and then sells it to a builder to complete construction of a speculative home owes a duty of care to a subsequent owner of the fully constructed home.

Clarence Winfrey (Claimant) appeals the decision of the Appellate Panel of the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission (Appellate Panel), which affirmed the single commissioner's determination that Archway Services, Inc. and Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. (collectively, Respondents) properly terminated Claimant's benefits under section 42-9-260 of the South Carolina Code (2015). Claimant argues the Appellate Panel erred in (1) holding Respondents did not have the burden of proving they conducted a good faith investigation to determine whether they could terminate Claimant's benefits, (2) not ordering reinstatement benefits when Respondents failed to comply with the mandatory requirements of section 42-9-260, (3) excluding Claimant's evidence from after September 15, 2013, (4) affirming Finding of Fact #2 that Claimant suffered a myocardial infarction "on May 28, 2013," and (5) making Findings of Fact #4 through #11, which were not supported by the evidence in the record. Claimant also argues the single commissioner erred in (1) admitting and considering Respondents' late-filed prehearing brief and Administrative Procedures Act submissions, (2) holding an unrecorded, two hour prehearing conference during which the commissioner made substantive decisions on motions that were not properly noticed for hearing, (3) deciding issues regarding several motions in its ancillary order, and (4) delaying a decision from November 13, 2013 until December 5, 2013.
