Show Notes
In a landmark verdict, a Walker County jury awards $70 million to boat repairman Mark Griffin, who contracted flesh-eating bacteria from a Tyson Farms wastewater spill in 2019. The spill, caused by a failed pipe from HydraService, contaminated the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River, affecting drinking water for many. Tyson, which acquired the plant in 2018, has had prior spills and settled with the state for $3 million, but maintains theyve since upgraded their operations to prevent future incidents.
