USC Journalism Director Testifies In Libel Trial

He cited lack of prudence and indicated the piece contained two separate stories. The case involves allegations of gambling and crime ties connected to a Torrance arcade and Queen Mary lease disputes, with testimony covering sources and journalistic methods.
