Jury considers returning $500K to Garth Brooks

CLAREMORE, Okla. (AP) - January 24, 2012

Brooks sued the Integris Canadian Valley Regional Hospital in his hometown of Yukon, saying it renegaded on a promise to build the center and name it after his mother, who died of cancer in 1999.

The hospital says Brooks gave it unrestricted access to the money.

Before jurors were given the case Tuesday afternoon, Brooks' lawyer told said during closing arguments that the hospital schemed to take the money by using the singer's mother as "bait."

The hospital's attorney told jurors Brooks never had a done deal, noting that Brooks couldn't remember key discussions with hospital executives.
