The parents of a 7-year-old girl killed by a falling concrete slab last year allege in a lawsuit that the slab was part of a sanitary sewer structure built by the city and later abandoned.

Ryan and Amanda Crow are seeking damages against the city for the death of their daughter, Macie Crow, and injuries to their son, 9-year-old Jordan Crow. The children were playing in a deteriorated concrete structure in a ravine near their home when part of the structure collapsed.

City officials said at the time that they did not know what the structure had been but speculated that it was part of a long-abandoned industrial site. The lawsuit says it was part of a sanitary sewer built by the city in 1978.

The Texas Supreme Court upheld a $1.48 million judgment in favor of a man injured in a barroom brawl nine years ago at a Lake Conroe resort.

The state’s high court said the Del Lago Golf Resort & Conference Center did not take reasonable action to protect patrons of the Grandstand Bar when a violent confrontation grew for more than 90 minutes between a wedding party and a Sigma Chi fraternity reunion.

“Tension at the bar turned into cursing, cursing led to threats, threats grew into pushing and all of the above culminated in a full-scale brawl,” Justice Don Willett wrote for the court majority. “Del Lago observed, but did nothing to reduce, this persistent hostility, and while the antagonism may have ebbed and flowed over those 90 minutes, the liquor simply flowed.”

For 14 years until just last month, GlaxoSmithKline sold a denture cream called Super Poligrip that contained high levels of zinc.

The zinc helped with adhesion and was probably safe so long as people used moderate amounts of cream. Indeed, the human body needs small amounts of zinc to function. But some people ended up using much larger amounts, and they began to develop the kind of nerve damage associated with excess zinc.

Five years after alerting authorities that she was gang-raped in Iraq, KBR/Halliburton employee Jamie Leigh Jones will finally get her day in court.

After fighting tooth-and-nail in the lower courts to keep the case from going to trial, KBR announced that it was dropping its Supreme Court appeal in the case.

This was less than two weeks after it was awarded a new $2.3 billion logistics contract by the Army. Jones, who says she was raped by coworkers and then imprisoned in a shipping container for three days by KBR staffers, had been barred from pursuing her sexual harassment case in the courts by a provision in her employee contract: The fine print said all such issues must be resolved via the company’s own binding arbitration process.

Responding to a bid by the California attorney general to suspend Dr. Conrad Murray’s medical license pending trial, attorneys Ed Chernoff and Joseph Low said that the effect would be devastating to the doctor who already faces a slew of financial problems.

The Vatican is launching a legal defense that it hopes will shield the pope from a lawsuit in Kentucky seeking to have him answer attorneys’ questions under oath.

Court documents obtained by The Associated Press show that Vatican lawyers plan to argue that the pope has immunity as head of state, that American bishops who oversaw abusive priests weren’t employees of the Vatican, and that a 1962 document is not the ”smoking gun” that provides proof of a cover-up.
