| Bayer/Monsanto lost a landmark cancer trial in San Francisco and was ordered to pay over USD 289 Million (reduced on appeal to USD 78 Million) in total damages to the former school groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson, a California father who has non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which was caused by Monsanto’s glyphosate-based weedkiller Roundup. This case led to one of the largest legal payouts in legal history as Bayer/Monsanto were forced to settle thousands of lawsuits for over $10 Billion. Dewayne Johnson and his lawyer Brent Wisner are here today to discuss their amazing journey.

| '''Panelists:'''
| |
| | |
| * '''[[Dewayne ‘Lee’ Johnson]]''', one of the most famous plaintiffs in legal history, sprayed hundreds of gallons of RoundUp over the course of his career as a school groundskeeper in Benicia, California. On one occasion, one of the sprayers he was using broke and he was drenched in RoundUp. In 2014 at age 42, Johnson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which he alleged at trial was caused by the pesticide exposure. In 2017, he was given a terminal diagnosis and was told that he would only live another 6 months. Due to this diagnosis, his trial was expedited.
