Supreme Court: Indiana Won't Pay State Fair Stage Rigger's Damages

The state's highest court says Indiana is not liable for the damages assessed to Mid-America Sound, the company that provided the stage rigging that collapsed at the state fair.

Seven people were killed that night in August of 2011.

About 100 others were injured.

The state has already paid $11 million to victims.

Mid America argued it had no liability under its agreement with the State Fair Commission.

The State Supreme Court finds no "explicit language" to provide for that.
