    The case was tried to a jury in Oklahoma State District Court in December 2009 and the jury returned a verdict finding $20 Million in damages against Caddo Electric Cooperative.  The court subsequently reduced the actual amount of the judgment to $12 Million because of he contributory negligence of the plaintiff.

     The Coop Litigation News is unable to determine the status of the case because there is neither a notice of appeal nor a release and satisfaction of the judgment in the court file.
