In this same case, WCSC and Jefferson-Pilot, who were the owners of channel 5 before they got sold to Lincoln Financial, will have to pay $3.95 million to two Charleston lawyers, Elizabeth and Christopher Murphy, as former news director Don Feldman was acting as an agent as he falsely accused Murphy of slandering former WCSC panelist Sandra Senn in 1999.
