Day on Torts
The Asbestos Law Journal has this great post on a huge asbestos verdict in Mississippi a short time ago. The blog notes that "part of why the jury did so may be because of a handwritten note that indicates one of the defendants engaged in a cost-benefit analysis that concluded it was OK to give people cancer as long as the profit exceeded the cost of the ensuing lawsuits."
Here is the a PDF of the hand-written document at issue. The operative language is about one-third of the way down the page.
