A Camden County jury has rejected the suit of a man who claimed he was injured by a June 2000 toxic gas release at a now-closed St. Mary’s paper plant.

Attorneys for Jack E. Willis had asked jurors to award him $3 million, said one of the winning attorneys, R. Scott Masterson of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith. He represented Durango Georgia Paper Co. with associate Brantley C. Rowlen.
