The Law and More Blog has an interview with Chuck Moellenberg, Jr., the Jones Day partner who led the defense in the recent Jefferson County $7 million lead paint verdict. Here is the story. The story contains an “on the record” quote, which suggests there was an “off the record” excerpt that was deleted. Moellenberg characterizes the verdict as an “aberration” in a county where no manufacturer has ever won.
On another note related to the trial, I am hearing a lot of rumors that trial observers did not think much of the defense experts.
