Judge cuts Burnett suit against Enquirer in half
Los Angeles AP Judge Peter Smith halved Carol Burnett's libel verdict against the National Enquirer from 300000 in actual and 13 million in punitive damages to 50000 and 750000 respectively. Burnett vows appeal while donating the award to charity and Enquirer counsel warns of chilling effects on journalism. The case stemmed from a 1976 gossip item alleging boisterous behavior in a Washington restaurant.
