No Jury awards $16 million to family in fatal radio prank

A Sacramento jury has awarded $16 million to the family of a woman who died during a 2007 radio station contest gone awry.

Jennifer Strange, a mother of three from suburban Rancho Cordova, died of apparent water intoxication hours after a failed attempt to win a Nintendo Wii video game system for her children in a promotion dubbed "Hold Your Wee for a Wii."
