Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by attorney Timothy Litzenburg, a partner at Kincheloe, Litzenburg and Pendleton, to discuss the recent Monsanto litigation and the influx of similar cases regarding chemical companies and consumers’ health. Timothy is an expert in the field of chemical exposure law, representing the plaintiff who was awarded the $289 million verdict (later reduced to $78 million by the presiding judge) in August of 2018 in Dewayne “Lee” Johnson v. Monsanto.   In today’s conversation, Aaron and Timothy talk about the historic verdict as well as the implications it has had, and continues to have.   Timothy explains that in the wake of Mr. Johnson’s victory he realized the need for a firm dedicated to other Monsanto victims; subsequently, he started Litzenburg Cancer Law. Timothy and Aaron talk about the evolution of Mr. Johnson’s case but also ask questions about what it means for future cases. How does the truth come out? What is the developing science behind these cases? Let us know what you think; listen in as Aaron and Timothy break down this landmark Monsanto case and explore what may be next for chemical exposure cases.   To learn more about Johnson v. Monsanto and Timothy’s cancer law practice, please visit his website here.   Host: Aaron Freiwald Guest: Timothy Litzenburg     Follow Good Law | Bad Law: YouTube: Good Law | Bad Law Instagram: @GoodLawBadLaw Website: https://www.law-podcast.com

After years of spraying, Dewayne Johnson, a groundskeeper, believes the herbicide Roundup, which contains glyphosate, caused him to develop Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a rare and very painful form of skin cancer. So, he filed a case against Monsanto, the manufacturer of Roundup. Four years later, a jury awarded Mr. Johnson $289 million dollars in damages (recently reduced to $78 million). Many, many farmers use Roundup, and the question of how dangerous it is has been studied. The EPA found it to be safe, yet the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer found it to be "probably carcinogenic in humans," so mixed results. Monsanto, for its part, maintains that Roundup is safe but faces over 9,000 similar cases across the country. This week an Oakland, California judge said that another case will go forward next March. This week, Lindsey speaks with one of Mr. Johnson's lawyers, Mark Burton. Mark tells us about the case and how they managed to win it. The Monsanto Papers Dewayne Johnson v.
