BR Jury Awards $773,000 to ex-LSU Coach

The Advocate reports that a jury in the 19th JDC awarded a former LSU track coach $773,000 last night in lost wages and damages connected to his firing in 1989. The coach, Loren Seagrave, "contends LSU discriminated against him, and wrongfully fired him. Seagrave, who is white, claimed the firing was racially motivated because he was married to a black woman at the time of his firing."
