A Stamford Superior Court jury has sided with the defense after a 60-year-old Norwalk woman claimed she had a pulmonary embolism after her shoelaces got stuck in a crack and caused her to fall in a stairway at Tully Health Center.

The six-person jury met for about one hour Thursday before rendering its verdict in favor of Stamford Health, which operates the health center. Donna Filardo, who was seeking $500,000 for her injuries, and $12,000 a year for the rest of her life for residual pain, ended up getting nothing from the jury.
