Live Nation is asking a federal judge to overturn the blockbuster verdict that the music giant is an illegal monopoly, arguing there was so little evidence during the trial that the jury’s decision “cannot stand.”
In a pair of motions filed in Manhattan federal court Thursday (May 21), Live Nation is urging the judge to undo the April verdict, in which jurors sided decisively with a coalition of state attorneys general who called the concert company a “monopolistic bully.”
