Wis. high court: Stadium official can face lawsuit (AP)

A University of Wisconsin-Madison official can be held liable for the 2003 death of a television cameraman who fell off an unguarded platform, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday.

In a 4-3 decision, justices said a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the parents of the late ABC Sports cameraman Richard Umansky can move to trial.
