Broward jury awards widow of smoker $1.5 million
June 5, 2009
A Broward jury awarded a Hollywood widow about $1.5 for million for the death of her husband, who died of lung cancer at the age of 69 in 1996 after smoking three to four packs of Winston cigarettes a day.
The jury on Friday decided in R.J. Reynolds Tobacco’s favor on four of five counts, but on the fifth count found that John Sherman’s death was caused by the company concealing information about the health effects of cigarettes.
