Ralph,

I talked with a lawyer this PM re the plaintiff's closing comments.

Even if the Judge doesn't grant a mistrial, the tobacco companies will have another grounds for appeal.

The underhanded, prejudicial comments have probably just succeeded in giving Tobacco a little better chance of overturning any unfavourable verdict.

Ian.
