"House gambling definition debated"

Charleston's The Post and Courier reports on an appeal in a Lowcountry courtroom on Tuesday, August 4th. 

Nexsen Pruet attorney Billy Wilkins argued "as lawyers for five Texas Hold 'em players convicted earlier this year in a Mount Pleasant municipal court went to state court, asking that their convictions be set aside."

Reporter Schuyler Kropf wrote the August 5th article entitled "House gambling definition debated."   Kropf reports that the appeal "focused on what some say is the state's ill-defined law covering a house of gambling."  He added that Wilkins said "the case involved multiple legal issues, including matters of due process." 

William W. “Billy” Wilkins, former Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and former Chair of the United States Sentencing Commission, leads Nexsen Pruet’s White-Collar Crime, Appellate Advocacy, and Corporate Compliance/Crisis Management practices. Mr. Wilkins also serves clients through his work in the firm’s Business Litigation Group.
