Illinois Supreme Court denies rehearing in tobacco case
The Illinois Supreme Court on Friday refused to reconsider its 4-2 December ruling that dismissed a $10 billion verdict against Philip Morris USA. The plaintiffs plan to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, while two justices dissented, criticizing the decision as misinformed and evasive. The case involved 1.1 million Illinois residents who bought light cigarettes.
