'Jim Shank of Jackson received word from Wal-Mart that the company intends to drop its $470,000 reimbursement claim against the Shank family. He says he's pleased and relieved Wal-Mart decided to drop the claim.
Shank credits the pressure of public outcry from bad publicity as the turning point to Wal-Mart dropping the claim. Shank had recently appeared on several national television shows talking about the case.'
