When confronted with evidence that damages their cases, corporations resort to what’s known as a Daubert hearing. This legal maneuver can keep crucial evidence, including the corporation’s own science showing the danger of its products, from being presented to juries.
Les douze travaux d'Astérix download That’s what is going on right now in Libby, Mont, the site of arguable this country’s worst environmental disaster.
W.R. Grace, the owner of a mine that spewed asbsestos-contaminated dust and mine tailings all over a small community for decades endinging the mid 1990s.
In 2005, two federal grand juries evaluated the government’s evidence of criminal wrongdoing and called for Grace to be charged with a variety of criminal charges. Among them was that Grace knowingly endangered the lives of thousands of people by concealing the hazard from the dust released by mining the asbestos-tainted vermiculite ore from nearby Zonolite Mountain.
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear the case, which is scheduled to go to trial next month … if the Daubert hearing dosen’t gut the government’s case.
Asbestos exposure can result in a variety of nasty diseases including asbestosis and malignant mesothelioma cancer. Asbestosis is also known as pulminary fibrosis. Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of lung cancer with no known cure and few effective treatments.
And, while highly-paid defense attorneys spar with federal prosecutors over proven science, people in Libby and at the dozens of processing sites across the country that handled the vermiculite ore continue to die. The survivors wonder whether Grace will ever be held accountable.
