Texas Cattlemen appeal Oprah verdict
Amarillo cattleman Paul Engler and fellow ranchers appeal the February jury ruling that they had no claim against Oprah Winfrey her production company or a vegetarian activist under business disparagement laws. They contend the April 16 1996 show on mad cow disease damaged the cattle industry and that judge Mary Lou Robinson erred in dismissing their Veggie Libel Act claims. Engler appealed Friday to the 5th Circuit in New Orleans alleging incorrect rulings and other errors.
