Comair Jury Trial Delayed
KENTUCKY....
A jury trial which was set to begin this next week to decide whether Comair owes the family of Bryan Keith Woodward tens of millions in punitive damages has been delayed. Woodward was a victim of an August 27, 2006 Comair 5191 plane crash at Lexington's Blue Grass Airport which killed 49 of the 50 passengers on board. Jamie Hebert, the widow of Woodward, was awarded more than $7 million in compensatory damages at a separate trial last December. Attorneys for Comair and Hebert have been ordered to decide whether they would prefer to move the trial to December, January, 2011, or February, 2011. The new trial will look more closely at the actions of the pilots, who steered the plane onto the wrong runway.
