DAY 86 (June 15) Summative Turning Points

Turning Points:

• Jan decides NOT to take the case because there's no-one to sue with deep enough pockets to pay a reasonable settlement.
• After his second speeding ticket, Jan walks and sees W.R. Grace and Beatrice trucks at the work site - he's found his deep pockets.
• Hire a large team to investigate and gather evidence with a warrant to search.
• History of the deaths and sickeness in the town - "cluster".
• Offers of settlement, e.g. $25M, $20M, $8M.
• The "swimming pool".
• Judge's questions .  Thatcher (Beatrice) was free, Cheeseman (Grace) still in.
• Trial - settlement out of court.  Grace = $8M
• Environmental Protection Agency takes on the case = $69M settlement out of court, both factories torn down.
