Mark Lanier Case Quotations

I felt like we had truth and the jury was paying attention. They had a very tough case to defend. The documents are very difficult for Merck.

We've had an incredibly attentive jury. They're sharp, they understand the case and that bodes well for us.

We want to pick a jury that will pay attention to the evidence and hold Merck to the truth. This case is really about whether drug companies have to tell the truth to the public, and Merck failed to do that.

This case is about folks trying to make money off of people in a desperate situation. That's not right. You come to people's rescue when they are in a desperate situation. You don't target them as something you can make money off of.

I'm going to get more damages in the Guerra case than they did in the Ernst case. I want Merck to see that Ernst was a conservative verdict. I'm going to spank them hard.
