Webb then moved to the paper's statehouse bureau, where he covered statewide issues and won numerous regional journalism awards.

The article resulted in a lawsuit against Webb's paper which the plaintiffs won. A jury awarded the plaintiffs over 13 million dollars and the case was later settled. In 1986, Webb wrote an article saying that the Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, 630:

The second article, by McManus, was the longest of the series and dealt with the role of the Contras in the drug trade and CIA knowledge of drug activities by the Contras.

Ross was a major drug dealer in Los Angeles. BlandĂłn and Meneses were Nicaraguans who smuggled drugs into the U.S. and supplied dealers like Ross. After introducing the three, the first article discussed primarily BlandĂłn and Meneses, and their relationship with the Contras and the CIA. Much of the article highlighted the failure of law enforcement agencies to successfully prosecute them and stated that this was largely due to their Contra and CIA connections. 905:

Ross was also released early after cooperating in an investigation of police corruption, but was rearrested a few months later in a sting operation arranged with BlandĂłn's help. The article suggested this was in retribution for Ross' testimony in the corruption case. 1162:, wrote in a 2013 column that "Gary Webb was a journalist of outsized talent. Few reporters I've known could match his nose for an investigative story. When he was engaged, he worked hard. He wrote well.
