The [**McCarrell v. Roche Accutane trial**](http://www.courtroomview.com/proceedings/mccarrell-v-laroche-trial-2009-07-27) started with a scathing opening statement from plaintiff attorney Mike Hook. Hook said, *"This is what the company knew. This is what was going on...The evidence will show that not only did the company know this, but they developed a plan*" to keep the information private.

[**CVN**](http://www.courtroomview.com) is providing a live webcast of this important Accutane trial in New Jersey, as well as [**Free Clips**](http://info.courtroomview.com/accutane-trial/) of both sides' opening statements.

As you can see in the images below, [**CVN**](http://www.courtroomview.com) also streams the digital evidence as it is presented to the jury.
