Jury awards Garth Brooks in $1 million in hospital suit

Fans, outdoors, react through the lower level courthouse doors as they see Garth Brooks inside the Rogers County Courthouse, in Claremore, Okla, on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2011.

The decision came in Brooks' breach-of-contract lawsuit against Integris Canadian Valley Regional Hospital in Yukon. Brooks said he thought he'd reached a deal in 2005 with the hospital's president, James Moore, but sued after learning the hospital wanted to use the money for other construction projects.
