    I am from Veritox, and for persons who have been following
    issues related to Dr. Kelman, I thought you would be
    interested in this recent court ruling:

    Court of Appeal Upholds Libel Verdict Against Mold
    Activist

    Ruling affirms 2008 ruling that Dr. Bruce Kelman,
    President of Veritox, was victim of defamation

    SEATTLE (September 16, 2010) – The California Court of
    Appeal this week affirmed the judgment in favor of Dr.
    Bruce Kelman of Veritox®, Inc., determining that Dr. Bruce
    Kelman was libeled by activist Sharon Kramer. In a
    unanimous opinion, Division One of the Fourth Appellate
    District upheld the jury’s verdict in Dr. Kelman’s favor
    and also ordered Kramer to pay costs to Dr. Kelman.

    The Court upheld the 2008 verdict by a San Diego County
    Superior Court jury that found. Kramer libeled Dr. Kelman
    when she published a press release in March 2005 stating
    that Dr. Kelman had altered his under-oath statements on
    the witness stand when he testified as a witness in an
    Oregon lawsuit. The jury found that Kramer’s statement was
    false and defamatory and that she had published it with
    malice.

    In addition to upholding the 2008 ruling, the appellate
    court affirmed the trial court’s award of costs to Dr.
    Kelman, and also found that he was entitled to recover
    costs on appeal.
