Federal Prosecutors Will Appeal Pending Asbestos Case Rulings

A case against W.R. Grace and Co. over an asbestos conspiracy will be appealed by federal prosecutors who disagree with recent court rulings. The prosecutors accuse the company of violating the Clean Air Act and knowingly poisoning former workers and residents. Three rulings however, have undermined their case by dismissing one count of conspiracy and barring the use of "critical evidence" of asbestos samples and scientific research.
