- Bayer AG on Wednesday asked a California appellate court to throw out a $78 million judgment it was ordered to pay to a school groundskeeper who claimed the company’s weed killers gave him cancer.

In a filing in California’s Court of Appeal, First Appellate District, the company said that there was “no evidence” that glyphosate, a chemical found in the company’s Roundup and Ranger Pro products, could cause cancer. The verdict, which marked the first such decision against Monsanto, wiped 10 percent off Bayer’s value, and shares have since dropped nearly 30 percent from their pre-verdict value.

In another brief filed with the appeals court on Wednesday, Bayer said that decision came after newspaper articles and emails from five jurors in the case meant to “pressure” Bolanos to uphold the punitive damages award.

Like hell!

Or better yet get that planet killing poison off the market.

And how are they safely able to dispose of these toxins? Landfill? 😡

Why would anyone use Roundup on their property? Even if it kills the weeds, it's still in the soil.

Don't let them weasel their way out of this!

Este producto esta relacionado con. Glifosato, pero por acá nadie averigua.

Farmers use roundup to make sure all of their wheat is dead at the same time to harvest. While the plants are still alive they soak in the roundup and we all eat it. That’s why we have so many health issues, it’s not the carbs, it’s the roundup

Y con este producto se sigue matando malezas en el campo colombiano, pero acá no pasa nada,

No way!

I'd like to ask to have Bayer executives thrown into prison.

I have a better idea.... throw out Bayer and save the planet. We need our insects. Roundup is killing us all either directly or indirectly. We can't live without pollinators and crops.

U.S. appeals court upholds most of California’s ‘sanctuary’ lawsA federal appeals court decided unanimously that most of California’s so-called sanctuary laws can continue to be enforced, rejecting the bulk of a lawsuit brought by the Trump administration. All that's standing between the Trump Administration and full-on autocratic fascist governing is the law, the courts, and attorneys fighting to hold the Trump Cult to the rule of law. Well, it’s the 9th Circuit so.... Keep fighting for the rights of people committing crimes over the rights of Americans, California. Yay, you!
