A freelance journalist from Newberry, S.C., has sued South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, saying he has intentionally withheld public records she requested in the fight over entertainer James Brown’s estate.
Sue Summer’s lawyers sued Wilson last month, saying he is violating South Carolina’s Freedom of Information Act by not releasing the diary of the woman who said she was Brown’s wife when he died in 2006 and the contract between Wilson’s office and a private law firm handling a lawsuit over a settlement a former attorney general brokered over the soul singer’s estate.
