Jury finds Marion bank negligent in trust handling
A Linn District Court jury ruled Farmers State Bank of Marion negligent in managing the trust of Henrietta Johnston, awarding $13,960.11 to her heirs. Punitive damages, sought at $50,000, were denied due to insufficient evidence of gross negligence. The trial spanned 24% hours, with arguments over stock sales after the Three Mile Island accident, savings vs higher yield investments, and trust tax timing.
