The Joint Defense filed a strong brief Wednesday asking the Court to strike Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids CEO Matt Myers’ F1 testimony, on the grounds that it is “back-door expert testimony” snuck in by a fact witness.

You had to feel for Dr. Cheryl Healton as she trudged wearily from the witness stand Thursday afternoon. She seemed to be trying to buck up after having spent a full day enduring tough questioning–and about an hour getting boxed about the ears. She’d done so well too, strongly answering Mr. Webb’s tough interrogations, the […]
