Ohio Jury Says DuPont Acted With Malice By Poisoning People With C8



This week, a jury found that DuPont acted maliciously when they decided to dump a cancer causing agent into the Ohio River without warning the public of the dangers, and DuPont was slapped with a $5.1 million penalty. There are still 3,500 cases left to try, but if the first two verdicts are any indication, DuPont will be in for a rough couple of years. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

protect us and our environment. BP has been able to bend the litigation over their spill to their will. All it took was a $700,000,000 "Common Benefit Fund" to the opposition attorneys to get their way! By the way, the Common Benefit Fund is for the attorneys (Plaintiff's Steering Committee), not the victims.
