(June 21) – A Dallas County jury has awarded $2.4 million to two former executives of Glazer’s liquor distribution company, finding they were owed compensation when the company combined with Southern Wine & Spirits in 2016.

The 10-2 verdict, which jurors delivered Wednesday evening around 8 p.m., put roughly $1.6 million in the pocket of former Glazer’s president Jerry Cargill and $800,000 in the pocket of Cary Rossel, Glazer’s former chief financial officer. Cargill worked for the company for 45 years, while Rossel worked there for more than 30 years.
