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.
