Jury Orders Monsanto to Pay Cancer Survivor $80 Million over Roundup
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In California, a federal jury ordered Monsanto to pay over $80 million
to a cancer survivor whose illness was found to have been partly caused
by the herbicide Roundup. Seventy-year-old Edwin Hardeman says he
sprayed the widely used herbicide on his property for almost three
decades and once got the product directly on his skin. He has been
diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The jury's award could have
implications for hundreds of others accusing the company of making them
sick.
