Thanks to a jury that deliberated for three whole hours, freedom of the press continues at the Quad City Times for its reporters. The former Davenport city administrator had sued the paper and two reporters, saying they ruined his career by publishing what he did.
The former mayor, by the way, demanded his resignation over these things.
The jury found in favor of the paper and the reporters, and the judge told the former administrator he had to pay court costs.
The first amendment wins again.
