A Texas appeals court has vacated its May decision that tossed out a $7.75 million judgment in a case in which Felicia Garza alleged that taking the prescription drug Vioxx caused her 71-year-old husband, Leonel Garza, to suffer a fatal heart attack. The court remanded the case for a new trial because of "juror misconduct" involving loans received from Felicia Garza. The court also reversed its holding that Leonel Garza's pre-existing heart problems could not be ruled out as the cause of his death.
