 A North Carolina jury delivered another verdict Wednesday for neighbors suing hog industry giant Smithfield Foods, but with much lower damages than in previous trials. The jury awarded $102,400, split between eight plaintiffs. The awards were broken down by how long plaintiffs lived near hog farms in their area, with the highest amounts, $75,000 and $25,000, going to people who were there before the farms. Two others got $1,000 each. Four people will get $100.
