Update: Mississippi Justice
The jurors who have sued 60 Minutes for libel arising from its portrayal of their involvement in "Jackpot Justice" base their claim on a quote from one Beau Strittman, apparently a party to one of the featured cases, in which Strittman alleged that the juries in Jefferson County, Mississippi award jackpot verdicts because they are later paid off "under the table". Strittman later claimed that he meant the comment as a joke. (Source: Clarion-Ledger, Jackson, Mississippi; see our original piece, posted on 12-10-02)
