Moroni v. Janssen

December 2016

Result: Dismissed by Judge Sean F. Kennedy

11 days into trial, Judge Sean F. Kennedy issued a bench order dismissing the case on grounds that he did not believe that plaintiff’s expert witness testimony met certain requirements of Texas law in pharmaceutical cases. The same expert had testified in previous trials that went to verdict. Plaintiff has appealed the decision.
