Carnahan Trial Over

Updating a prior post, the trial arising from the plane crash that killed Missouri Gov. Mel Carnahan and his son in 2000 is over, with both sides claiming victory. ("Plane maker found negligent in Carnahan crash," from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch via the AP.) Following a two-month trial, the jury awarded the Carnahan family $4 million, but did not award punitive damages.
