Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia are backing Montana in its fight to prevent the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision from being used to strike down state laws.
Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia are backing Montana in its fight to prevent the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision from being used to strike down state laws.
A pool of 28 jurors has been selected for a class-action lawsuit filed against Monsanto, a spokeswoman for the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia said.
The lawsuit will be tried in Putnam County. According to the Supreme Court, six jurors and six alternates will be picked from the pool for Bibb et al v. Monsanto Co.
Judge Derek Swope has adjourned the trial until Feb. 13, at the earliest, since a number of pre-trial motions are still to be filed.
The case involves current and former Nitro residents who claim dioxin from a former Monsanto plant polluted residential properties and streams. The lawsuit seeks medical monitoring for at least 5,000 people.
The state Supreme Court appointed Mercer County Circuit Court Judge Derek Swope to preside over the trial after Putnam County Circuit Court Judge O.C. Spaulding stepped aside. Spaulding was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, and retired at the end of 2011.
