First Mesothelioma Court Trial To Begin Shortly
Madison County Circuit Judge Daniel Stack has begun picking a jury for the county’s first asbestos trial in more than a year. The victim Chester Black of Joplin, Mo., was diagnosed with mesothelioma early in 2006. He will be represented by Randy Gori of The Goldenberg firm in Edwardsville, filed suit earlier this year, seeking compensatory and punitive damages in excess of $400,000.
