The widow of former New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle, who died in a plane crash in Manhattan, appealed a jury verdict that found the maker of the aircraft wasn’t responsible for his death.
A Manhattan federal jury on May 24 cleared Duluth, Minnesota-based Cirrus Design Corp. of liability for the death of Lidle, who was killed in October 2006 along with his flight instructor, Tyler Stanger, when their single-engine SR20 plane slammed into a building on the Upper East Side.
