TV Host and funnyman Steve Harvey emerged from the courtroom victorious after a Dallas jury ruled that he never agreed to turn over more than 120 hours of his comedic material to Dallas videographer Joseph Cooper or to allow the videographer to use Harvey's face, name and likeness to market Harvey's material.  The jury's verdict puts an end to a saga that has plagued Harvey for over 20 years and relieves him of having to pay $20 million in damages sought by the Dallas videographer after Harvey instructed his lawyers to shut down the planned worldwide distribution of recorded footage that Harvey contended still belonged to him. Harvey not only beats back the $50 million contract claim, but has gotten the jury to rule that Cooper misused the comedian's identity without consent. Harvey was represented by attorneys Aubrey Pittman, Wendle Van Smith, and Ashlei Gradney.
