“The trial took place in St. Joseph, Missouri, in early March 1939.
Wadlow filed the suit after Dr. Humberd published an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association that described Wadlow as a "freak" and detailed various physical and mental conditions, which Wadlow's attorneys argued brought him into disrepute and contempt.
Dr. Humberd's defense argued that "freak" was a valid term for someone so far outside the norm. The defense brought other tall men to court, including Glenn Hyder (7 feet) and Jack Earle (7 feet 6 inches), to support the argument that Humberd was an authority on gigantism rather than malicious.
The jury ruled that Robert Wadlow had not been libeled.
Shortly after this, in 1940, Wadlow died at age 22 due to an infection caused by a faulty leg brace.”
