Tobacco companies picked up two victories in the same week in Florida in cases brought by smokers in Duval and Manatee counties. The first trial, on behalf of Evelin E. Warrick, concluded when a Jacksonville jury absolved R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris USA companies of liability. Two days later, a Bradenton jury also voted for the defense in the case brought by Jimmie P. Willis against the same cigarette makers. Both cases were on their second trials after the first set ended in mistrials.
