A federal jury has awarded $80 million to a California man after determining that Monsanto is liable and that its popular weedkiller Roundup was a substantial factor in causing his cancer

A federal jury has awarded $80 million to a California man after determining that Monsanto's popular weedkiller, Roundup, was a substantial factor in causing his cancer, and that the corporation is liable.

The jury in San Francisco awarded compensatory damages at $5.27 million and punitive damages of $75 million to the plaintiff, Edwin Hardeman. During the first phase of the trial last week, the jury dealt a blow to Monsanto, saying Roundup was a substantial factor in causing Hardeman's non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Edwin Hardeman claims Roundup caused his cancer. A federal jury in San Francisco sided with him.

Monsanto is evil.

$80 million awarded to man that jury says got cancer after Roundup exposureA federal jury has awarded $80 million to a California man after determining that Monsanto is liable and that its popular weedkiller Roundup was a substantial factor in causing his cancer. Poison. On purpose. Around a year ago, the largest privately owned company on Earth sold itself to Bayer from Germany. One has to wonder why. The problem being, of course, that jurors are not scientists and that's not the way science works.
