Daly ordered to pay legal fees of nearly $272,000
By Associated PressPosted: June 26, 2009
Duval County Circuit Judge Hugh Carithers ordered Daly to pay $263,088 in attorney’s fees, plus costs of $8,675.99 and 8 percent interest rate per year until it is paid.
Carithers dismissed the lawsuit in March. He ruled that former columnist Mike Freeman’s statements in a 2005 column were either true or constitutionally protected opinion.
Calls to Daly’s attorney, Lydia A. Jones, and Daly’s agent, Bud Martin, and Times-Union publisher Lucy Talley were not immediately returned.

“Isn't it fun to have blogs to bash other people? We can't solve our own problems but we can sure dish it out to others! I'd love to put all you haters on the other end and see how you would all fare! Most likely your personal lives are as bad if not worse than JDs so it sure is fun piling on, isn't it? Makes one feel good to degrade someone who's made more money in one year than you will ever see in your life! Get a life and quit wasting your time kicking people who are already down! ”
