The third week of a trial involving Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel and a Massey Energy subsidiary is underway in Brooke County. Wheeling-Pitt seeks more than $200 million from Massey subsidiary Central West Virginia Energy Company. Wheeling-Pitt says the company failed to supply enough coal to the steelmaker’s coke plant in Follansbee. The case received more attention on Wednesday when Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship took the stand.
