Jury: West Virginia doctor, 2 lawyers filed false claims

A West Virginia radiologist and two Pennsylvania attorneys who were involved in thousands of asbestos lawsuits have been found guilty of civil racketeering for conspiring to fabricate claims against CSX Transportation. The Wheeling jury on Thursday ordered Pittsburgh attorneys Robert Peirce and Louis Raimond and Bridgeport radiologist Ray Harron to pay CSX more than $429,000, which could be tripled because they were convicted of civil racketeering charges. They also were found guilty of conspiracy and fraud.
