Tue. AM: Green finishes; next up: Ivey
November 16, 2004 12:00 pm by Gene BorioDr. Green, RJR board member of CIAR from 1985 until 1998, did not seem to go over well with the court.
By the end of Dr. Green’s testimony, Judge Kessler seemed to be expressing no small degree of skepticism.
When Dr. Green was asked if lawyers –rather than proper scientists–had ever told him that a pilot study should not be done, he quite emphatically stated that that absolutely never happened.
Judge Kessler broke in to the questioning to ask, “And your recollection is quite clear on that?”
A few minutes later, the Defense brought up the Enstrom proposal document, Mr. Brody objected, saying that the witness had already said he didn’t remember the document, Judge Kessler sustained the objection, saying,
“There was a great deal he did not remember.”

A little of Charles Green’s work for RJR:

I’d say Green was in a position to know
what the industry was doing, and how and why, on secondhand smoke.
