Tomorrow a jury gets to decide the outcome. Richard Rogers died of lung cancer in 1987 after smoking for fifty years. His family is suing four big tobacco companies, charging their product as addictive. Richard Rogers couldn't quit, even though he tried. Their first suit ended last year in a hung jury. In almost every case, tobacco companies have gotten off without paying judgements. Why ... Professor Orentlicher (Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis): Back in the thirties and forties, cigarettes were called cancer sticks, another nail in the coffin; and everybody knew that. When you're sitting on the jury, you know that the smoker probably knew what he or she was getting into. Ditmire: This story begins deliberating tomorrow afternoon. # # # Ma1n'rl.rvpWe00YYLmMaMon'qSsraimmaYaNyb,ra~fnMeroUnsiexaneYshermieurk MYpukkatiannGw&utarp/Afcdup/iYla16~a61afaAillen. fa/a aaeCUSCERafMwaudnpsaRW4adalGf th'anawsaqmmteunlaelYewawaslYNBOnh¢ ** TOTAL PRGE.04 **
