Turner v. Dolcefino and KTRK

a. List the titles of the case from trial court (shown in the video), to appellate court, to Texas Supreme Court. Remember that the party who initiates the litigation will be named first, regardless of who was the plaintiff and who was the defendant in the trial court.

b. Wayne Dolcefino, a reporter from KTRK Channel 13 (Houston News station) ran a news story in 1991. In the report, Sylvester Turner, who was running for mayor of the city, was accused of participating in an insurance scam with an acquaintance of his. As a result, Turner sued the news station and reporter for the accusation.

c. Why was KTRK a named defendant in the lawsuit?

d. What was the burden of proof at the trial court?

e. Explain why the case would have ultimately had a different result if Turner had not been a well-known politician.

f. Discuss in at least three sentences whether you think that the body language and demeanor of the parties affected the jury's decision in the trial court.
