A Florida jury concluded the network smeared the man’s reputation, awarding $5 million for losses and suffering and weighing additional punitive damages.

The jury deliberated for more than eight hours starting before ruling in favor of Zachary Young in his defamation suit against CNN.

CNN reached a $5 million settlement with U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young, averting a second trial phase over punitive damages. Young claimed CNN defamed him by labeling him a profiteer during the Afghan evacuation.
