A jury handed down a mixed verdict Wednesday in the trial of a Broadway press agent accused of scaring off an angel investor who stood ready to save the ill-fated production “Rebecca—The Musical.”

After two days of deliberations, a six-person jury in Manhattan Supreme Court cleared publicist Marc Thibodeau of defamation, but found him liable for tortious interference with prospective business relations.

Thibodeau already had been found liable by Commercial Division Justice Jeffrey Oing, at the summary judgment stage, for breach of his agent contract with “Rebecca.”
