Fayette County Schools Ordered to Pay Maner's attorney $238,766 in fees

Attorneys had asked for $1.5 million

LEXINGTON: The Fayette County School Board is obligated to pay Carol Lynne Maner's attorneys $238,766 in fees for their successful prosecution of a civil lawsuit against the board, a judge ruled yesterday.

The ruling increases the verdict in Maner's sex abuse lawsuit to $3.9 million.

The school board has not indicated whether it will appeal...
