St. Petersburg Times hit with $10.1 million verdict.

Libel | Quicklink | August 31, 2009

A jury returned a $10.1 million libel decision against the St. Petersburg Times last week in a case brought by the former chief of medicine at a V.A. hospital.

The doctor claimed that a series of articles contained a number of factual inaccuracies, but the newspaper said he had not proven that the stories were false and stood by its reporting.
