Courtroom View Network focuses on high-stakes civil jury trials the traditional news media normally wouldn’t cover until after a verdict, if at all. Whether we’re webcasting a bellwether mass tort trial or an eight-figure personal injury negligence case, the defendants in the trials CVN covers often bring in “the big guns.”
Asbestos cases often turn on a paper trail as the most reliable evidence at trial, where memories of potential exposure and their sources from decades earlier can be hazy. Todd Suddleson used such a paper trail as the key to a strong closing argument that helped clear CertainTeed in a $5M-plus asbestos trial in 2018. Francisco Herrera v. CertainTeed Corp., CV2014-09632.
