CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri jury has awarded a woman $77 million in damages in a lawsuit alleging Wells Fargo Bank mismanaged her family trusts. The St. Louis County jury late Monday sided with 78-year-old Barbara Burton Morriss of the St. Louis suburb of Olivette.

Morriss sued Wells Fargo in early 2012, alleging the bank breached its fiduciary duty by failing to fully disclose financial transactions in two family trusts that lost millions of dollars.

Morriss was a beneficiary and co-trustee on both trusts with her son, venture capitalist B. Douglas Morris. He’s serving five years in federal prison for tax evasion.

Wells Fargo says it’s disappointed about the verdict and is weighing whether to appeal.

ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — Prosecutors say a 23-year-old man accused of exposing other gay men to HIV while attending college in suburban St. Louis first tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS in Indiana.

They say that positive test came two years before one in 2013 in Missouri.

They disclosed the new evidence Tuesday during their opening statement in Michael L. Johnson’s trial. The former wrestler at Lindenwood University in St. Charles is accused of infecting two of his sex partners and endangering four others.

His public defender didn’t make an opening statement or address Johnson’s earlier test while cross-examining three prosecution witnesses.

The former state high school wrestling champion from Indianapolis could face decades in prison if convicted. Johnson also was a junior college national champion at Lincoln College in Illinois.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Senate Republicans have used a rare procedural motion to shut down debate and pass a “right-to-work” measure.

The Senate voted 21-13 Tuesday to approve a bill that prohibits workplace contracts in which union fees are collected from non-members. The bill now goes back to the House, which had passed a previous version.

Republican Sen. Dan Brown, of Rolla, says a right-to-work law would still allow people who want to join a union do so.

Opponents say it could lead to lower wages, make training more difficult and workplaces more dangerous.

The vote came after a more than eight-hour filibuster by Democrats and some Republican opponents.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Jackson County jury is recommending seven 24-year sentences for a Kansas man convicted of raping a 17-year-old girl more than two decades ago.

Prosecutors say 43-year-old Maurice Parnell Webber of Overland Park, Kansas, was found guilty last week of three counts of rape and four counts of sodomy for the 1991 assault of a woman in Kansas City’s Swope Park. The same jury on Monday recommended the sentences.

Police say the victim was driving home from a concert and pulled over into an apartment complex parking lot to sleep. She says she awoke in a different car occupied by four males and was sexually assaulted by three of them.

Webber was linked to the assault through DNA. He is scheduled to be sentenced next month.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Widespread rains helped boost farm crops and replenish soil moisture across Kansas.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that 70 percent of the state’s winter wheat crop has now headed.

Wheat condition was rated as 31 percent poor to very poor with 42 percent in fair condition. About 25 percent of the crop is in good and 2 percent in excellent condition.

The agency also issued a report for spring-planted corn fields. It rated corn condition as 5 percent poor, 39 percent fair, 52 percent good and 4 percent excellent.

Kansas farmers this last week also moved cattle to summer pasture.

The agency rated pasture conditions in the state as 17 percent poor, 38 percent fair, 38 percent good and 7 percent excellent.

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (AP) A Missouri marching band has nabbed a spot in the 2016 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Macy’s was making a surprise announcement Tuesday morning at Grain Valley High School near Kansas City. The retailer said in a news release that hundreds of marching bands from across the nation vied for 10 performing slots.

The annual parade through the streets of New York City started in 1924.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Verizon Wireless has agreed to pay $90 million and Sprint $68 million to settle charges that the mobile giants allowed phony charges on their customers’ monthly bills.

According to federal regulators, the two mobile providers had partnered with third-party vendors that sell premium text messaging services, such as daily horoscopes, trivia and sports scores. But consumers who hadn’t signed up for the services were being billed anyway, typically about $9.99 a month.

Regulators said they launched an investigation after receiving numerous complaints that the carriers had refused to refund the charges. Both companies said in statements emailed to reporters on Tuesday that they had stopped allowing premium text messaging before the government investigation began and that the settlements reflect their commitment to customer service.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Prices for eggs and turkey meat are rising as an outbreak of bird flu in the Midwest claims more chickens and turkeys.

A carton of eggs in the Midwest is up nearly 17 percent to $1.39 since mid-April, when the virus began killing chickens and farmers culled their flocks to contain any spread. Eggs used as ingredients in products like cake mix and mayonnaise have surged 63 percent in 2½ weeks.

Iowa, the leading egg producer, has lost 26 million hens.

Analysts say grocery stores and wholesalers are trying to stock up.

The death of 5.6 million turkeys has pushed the price of fresh breast meat used in deli cuts up 10 percent since mid-April. Frozen hens used for home roasting are up about 3 percent.

NEW YORK (AP) — Drivers who have seen a steady rise in the price of gasoline can relax: They will almost certainly be paying far less for gas this summer than they have in at least six years.

The Energy Department said Tuesday that it expects the price of gasoline to average $2.55 between April and September, which would be the lowest since 2009. Over the course of the year, a typical U.S household could save $675 in gasoline prices compared to last year.

The coming summer of cheap gas was set up by a collapse in oil prices that ended in mid-March at $43 a barrel. That took gasoline prices down to $2.03 a gallon, a level the nation hadn’t seen since it was deep in recession in March of 2009.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Mayor Sly James is praising a newly announced $300 million, 800-room downtown hotel project.

James said in a news release Monday that the project has been needed for several years. Meeting planners say a lodging shortfall has caused numerous conventions to look elsewhere.

Plans call for the hotel to open in 2018 across from the Kansas City Convention Center’s Grand Ballroom. Hyatt has been selected to be the hotel operator.

The release says the city investment of $35 million is fixed, and will be financed with revenues from existing taxes paid predominantly by out-of-town visitors. Taxpayers will not be responsible for any project cost overruns.

James called the project the “right development at the right location with the right hotel operator.”
