PORTLAND, Oregon (CNN) -- A federal jury decided Tuesday that a
controversial Web site and "wanted" posters amounted to death threats
against doctors who perform abortions. More than a dozen defendants
were ordered to pay damages of more than $100 million.

The unanimous verdict was reached by four men and four women after
three weeks of trial and 4 1/2 days of deliberations.
The jury said the posters and Web site called "The Nuremberg Files"
constituted "a true threat by one or more of the defendants to do
bodily harm, assault or kill any of the plaintiffs."
