June 18th, 2012 - 10:47 am ICT by IANSLos Angeles, June 18 (IANS) Actor Stephen Baldwin has lost a multi-million dollar case against actor Kevin Costner.
Baldwin accused Costner of cheating him and his business partner in a deal to sell oil clean-up devices to British Petroleum after 2010’s Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The case was settled in front of a federal jury in Louisiana who, after two hours of deliberation, rejected Baldwin’s claim for more than $17m in damages.

Meanwhile, Costner expressed his gratitude to the jury and said getting his name cleared was more important than money.
