Description
This is a libel suit brought by respondent, Dr. N. Jay Rogers, against petitioners, Harvey Katz and Doubleday & Co., Inc. Katz authored and Doubleday published a book entitled Shadow on the Alamo, which admittedly contained a libel regarding Dr. Rogers. The jury found that the statement inquired about was made with malice. The jury further found that Dr. Rogers had suffered no actual damage from the publication, but that exemplary damages of $2,500,000 should be assessed. The trial court, because of the "zero" actual damage finding, rendered a take-nothing judgment. The court of appeals reversed the trial court judgment and rendered judgment for Dr. Rogers against Katz and Doubleday jointly and severally for $2,500,000 in exemplary damages. 644 S.W.2d 833. We reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and affirm the trial court judgment.
