    Judge who won $2 m libel victory wants $6.8 m more, says Bermuda insurer

    A Massachusetts judge who received $3.4 million from the Boston Herald six months ago to satisfy a libel award allegedly demanded an additional $6.8 million from the newspaper’s Bermuda-based insurer.Instead of complying with the alleged demand, however, Mutual Insurance Company Limited apparently offered The Honorable Ernest B. Murphy $100 and then filed a complaint for declaratory judgment against him at the U. S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts on August 16, 2007.
