Settlement reached in Griffith trial

The civil trial involving former U.S. Representative Parker Griffith and his brother has ended. The civil trial started last week in Marshall County. Griffith and his brother were being sued for fraud and breach of contract by former employee Bert Coe, who claimed he was owed unpaid commission for sales made while work at funeral homes the Griffiths owned. Defense witnesses testified Coe calculated his own commission and was informed when his rate went down. No other details are available since the judge issued a gag order, but a settlement was reached.
