  1. “J&J’s lawyer countered today that Bentley’s breat develop was normal for a teen going through puberty and Risperdal played no role in it.”

    Ahhh…….only in girls my dear, not in boys!!!!!!! Where did they get this lawyer from? did she keep a straight face while making this statement?

    The CEO, who couldn’t be bothered to make it to court because he had “travel plans,” needs to go to prison, plain and simple! Until people have to go to prison at the end of these tirals nothing is going to change.
