HOUSTON (AP) - A jury has rejected a flight attendants claim
that the wife of televangelist Joel Osteen assaulted her before
takeoff aboard a December 2005 flight.
The jury deliberated briefly Thursday before reaching its
unanimous decision.
Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown had claimed
Victoria Osteen threw her against a bathroom door and elbowed her
in the left breast because she was angry that a stain on her seat
was not quickly cleaned up.
Victoria and Joel Osteen denied the assault happened.
Brown was seeking at least $405,000 for physical and mental pain
suffered as a result of the alleged attack.
