Warner Bros. wins jury verdict over Eastwood film

LOS ANGELES - Warner Bros. has successfully defended a lawsuit brought by a diver who was injured on the set of Clint Eastwood's 2006 drama "Flags of Our Fathers."

James Chizmar Jr. sued the studio and Eastwood's Malpaso production company seeking more than $10 million in damages from injuries suffered during the 2005 shoot of the World War II epic.

On Friday, after a four-week jury trial, a Norwalk, Calif, jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of the studio (Eastwood's company was previously dismissed), finding that Warners followed safe practices and was not negligent.
