Boy, you guys have no faith in the jury system. Maybe Merck was negligent and that's the reason for the award?

There is nothing wrong with a jury system in the hands of people with some measure of integrity. This jury had people in it of low moral character.

The reason this award is so high is that the jurors hope to get their face on CNN. Any more, some people want their 15 minutes of fame whether they are praised or villified. Pathetic.

HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA

Thanks for the laugh!

If they were negligent, what was the FDA for approving the drug in the first place???

I guess the jurors didn't understand the concept of "statistically insignificant". Or that EVERY drug on the market comes with risks. EVERY one of them.

Color me guilty. The original intent of a "jury of your peers" has long ago gone by the board. It is now a "jury of the envious big business haters" who are picked and tailored to fit the trial lawyers needs. The media spend a good bit of time with slanted reports to help with the lawyers' jury nullification. Truth and justice is a rare experience in our courts today.

Simply not the case. It is blatant greed and stupidity.
