Kerr libel suit verdict grants $3.5 million to former U S attorney
A El Paso jury awarded former Assistant U.S. Attorney James Kerr $3.5 million for libel from a 1975 El Paso Times column. The 84-hour, two-day deliberation reached 10-2 in Kerr's favor on actual malice and defamation, with $500,000 in actual damages and $3 million in exemplary damages. The Times editor voiced disappointment and contemplated an appeal as Gannett was dismissed from the case.
