Employee Accuses Red Hot Law Group of Fraud
When Carl R. Johnston joined Atlanta's Red Hot Law Group, he knew he'd be making less money than at a traditional firm, but he expected a share from a stock incentive plan that Red Hot said was in the works to provide opportunities to invest in its high-tech clients. The problem: Red Hot didn't implement the plan while he was there, and didn't intend to, he says. So he sued Red Hot and its founder for fraud.LG suffered another loss in its suit against Whirlpool for falsely advertising that its steam dryers produced steam. After a trial last year in which it won just one count under Illinois's Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, a federal judge has thrown out that result, too.
Contrasting verdicts in two trials over Pfizer's drug Prempro prove the importance of a judge willing to block damaging evidence from the jury. On Wednesday a federal jury in Bridgeport found that a Pfizer subsidiary wasn't liable for the 2006 death from breast cancer of a 62-year old nurse who used Prempro. In contrast, a jury in nearby New Haven returned a $4 million verdict against Wyeth in a different Prempro trial a month ago.
