The family of a Florida woman who died in a Pensacola area jail, managed by a Miami-based healthcare company, has just been awarded $16 million in a medical-malpractice and wrongful-death case.

The attorney for the husband of 44-year old Misty Williamson said he attributes the 8-figure award to getting defendant Armor Correctional Health Services Inc. to admit to the jury that it was guilty of being a felon.
