Jury orders Monsanto to pay $290M in Roundup trial
- freetime2 8y agoWow this is surprising. With all due respect to the plaintiff and the suffering that he and his family are going through, my (limited) understanding is that there just isn't enough evidence to show that his cancer was caused by exposure to Roundup. If there is anyone more well-versed on the subject who would like to make a case to the contrary I would be interested in learning more. This ruling, and the recent $4.7 billion ruling against Johnson & Johnson that baby powder causes cancer must have chemical and pharmaceutical companies terrified.
- stephencoyner 8y agoI was summoned for jury duty on this trial but not selected. It would have been very hard for me as a juror to be without bias against Monsanto (as I assume many SF residents would agree with). This is a huge verdict. I'll be interested to see how this is resolved as I'm sure Monsanto isn't giving up. This could open the flood hates for hundreds of similar trials.
