A juror
who was part of a panel that delivered an $80 million award against Bayer AG
after finding that its glyphosate-based weed killer Roundup caused a manâ??s
cancer has urged the presiding judge to uphold the decision. A letter from the
juror written on July 4 was posted to the court docket on Monday as part of
legal filings by Bayer. The company accused the juror of bias and called on
the judge to disregard the letter in his decision making. In the letter, the
unidentified juror told U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria in San Francisco
that the $80 million in awards â??were no accidentâ?? and the result of
â??meticulous planningâ?? by the jury.
