71-year-old Leonel Garza suffered a fatal heart attack in 2001 after a month on the painkiller, Vioxx. In 2006, his widow was awarded a $32 million judgment by a Texas jury.
As often happens, caps on awards exist in Texas so the judge had to cut the award down from $25 million in punitive to $8.73 million. On Wednesday, an appeals court threw out that award too.
The mother of a teenage boy killed in a car wreck has been arrested- for causing his death while drinking and driving.

A four-vehicle wreck south of Fernandina Beach, Florida killed two and injured four others Wednesday. Police say that the wreck may have been intentional.

The Florida Highway Patrol says it looks like the driver had time to think about what he was doing then accelerated into oncoming traffic.

We’ve had a rash of them lately.
Law enforcement is fast to turn to tasers or stun guns to deliver between 20,000 and 150,000 volts of electricity to subdue agitated citizens.
The problem is the jolt delivers on average 50,000 volts that penetrates the skin and shock the heart and has been known to sometimes can turn fatal. Read the rest »
