1. Food Lion was awarded $5.5 million vs. ABC News. Jurors said ABC didn't have to lie to get its information. "The media has a right to bring the news, but they have to have guidelines too," said Gregory Mack, the jury foreman. "When you look at a football game, you see boundaries all around. You go out of bounds, you go out of bounds." Juror Tony Kinton agreed, saying reporters will have to find better ways of "collecting the news without misrepresenting themselves."
