$10M Tobacco Verdict Tossed Over Atty s Improper Remarks
Law360 (July 14, 2021, 10:19 PM EDT) A Florida appeals court on Wednesday reversed a $10 million judgment won by the daughter of a smoker who died of lung cancer in a case against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., finding that her attorney had been warned in four previous instances not to make inflammatory arguments at trial.
A Fourth District Court of Appeal panel said objections levied by the tobacco giant should have been sustained when Deborah Neff s attorney Scott Schlesinger told the jury that R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris USA Inc. ran an enterprise of death and that their defense was the last refuge of the scoundrel. . ....
