Bayer's Monsanto asks US Court to Toss Roundup verdict

FBN's Ashley Webster on Bayer shares' falling on news a California jury ordering the company's newly acquired Monsanto unit to pay $289 million for not warning of cancer risks from the company's weed-killer Roundup.

Bayer unit Monsanto on Tuesday asked a California judge to throw out a $289 million jury verdict awarded to a man who alleged the company's glyphosate-based weed-killers, including Roundup, gave him cancer.

The company said the jury's decision was insufficiently supported by the evidence presented at trial by school groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson, as reported by Reuters.

Johnson's case was fast-tracked for trial due to the severity of his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph system.

The JURY has spoken.

They can buy politicians, but juries are a little bit harder to get to....
