W.R. Grace Trial Jury Selection To Begin On February 19th

awaited W.R. Grace trial will begin with the selection of the jury members who will decide the fate of W.R. Grace. Twelve jury members will be chosen as well as a number of alternates that have yet to be decided upon.

The W.R Grace trial will take place in Missoula, Montana and will finally determine whether or not W.R Grace knowingly concealed health risks associated with asbestos mind at a site owned by him and others. Grace was indicted along with various other individual defendants in 2005.

Asbestos is a known cause of a number of fatal diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. Because such diseases tend to have such a long latency period there is only a limited chance of finding effective treatment options by the time diagnosis occurs. In many cases an asbestos-caused disease will reach its advanced stages of development by the time it is diagnosable.

In upwards of thirty defense attorneys will be involved in the W.R. Grace trial that will be overseen by United States District Court Judge Donald Molloy. Out of those thirty attorneys nine will be devoted to the defense of Grace, while the others will represent the remainder of the defendants.
