Oklahoma Supreme Court overturns $10 million ruling against Tyson
The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Tuesday tossed a $10 million jury verdict against Tyson Foods Inc., granting the company's request for a new trial based on allegations of juror misconduct and a mistake on interpreting the law.
The trial is part of a series of lawsuits filed by 54 growers who sued Tyson, claiming that farmers who did not want to modernize their equipment were given inferior feed and chicks.. The plaintiffs were divided into groups, and the ruling involved the first group to go to trial.
