If this stands.............. Judge: Tobacco industry violated RICO SCOTUS BLOG By Lyle Denniston A U.S. District judge in Washington, D.C., ruled on Thursday that the tobacco industry engaged in an illegal, decades-long campaign to deceive smokers about the health hazards in cigarettes and other forms of tobacco, in violation of the federal anti-racketeering law (RICO). The ruling by U.S. District Judge Gladys M. Kessler, in a case that has been before her for nearly seven years, is 1742 pages long. It thus is too long to upload to this blog. A link to it can be found at the top of the website of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, here, along with aa link to an 18-page final judgment and remedial order. The conclusions of law begin on page 1498, but that page becomes 1528 in the electronic text because of the 29-page table of contents at the beginning.
