A jury has awarded former Penn State assistant football coach Mike McQueary $7.3 million in damages in his defamation lawsuit against the university (http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/news/mike-mcqueary-jerry-sandusky-lawsuit-penn-state-joe-paterno-sexual-abuse-whistle-blower/1slt8nbftntvz1lheewzzywy51) stemming from actions against him tied to the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case.

McQueary was awarded the damages Thursday in Centre County, Pa., according to The Associated Press (https://apnews.com/0c61c383d6444c3e85b2c8246e83cdce). He claimed the school defamed him in a statement (https://apnews.com/9a906f059c854b4484ae3030bd726285/The-Latest:-Jury-awards-ex-Penn-St.-assistant-coach-over-%247M?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP).

Senior Judge Thomas Gavin still has to rule on McQueary’s claim he was unfairly suspended and placed on leave after he testified in Sandusky’s 2012 trial, the AP reported.

The jury deliberated about four hours before reaching its decision (http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20161028_Jurors_to_decide__Did_McQueary_deserve_to _get_dumped_by_Penn_State_.html), according to the AP's report...
