From The Tennessean:

Country music star and former "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery owes his former manager $239,329 after a jury verdict on Wednesday in the legal dispute between the two parties.

In a prepared statement, McCreery said he always intended to pay Cassetty. He said he was pleased the jury award was less than the $570,000 Cassetty first requested.

"While it has been difficult to risk having my reputation challenged, I always believed that the truth would prevail, and it has," McCreery said. "I have a management team, including a professional business manager, in Nashville advising me. Now I am happy to put this behind me and focus on my music. As always, I am thankful to my fans for all of their support."
