In 1996, (See John Cornwell’s The Power to Harm)Lilly used the same tactic to ’settle’ a Prozac case (perhaps even more effectively, as there were behind-the-scenes shenanigans that ultimately stirred the trial judge to re-classify the “non guilty” verdict as tainted.)The oily corporate lawyers are expert at gaming the system. I suppose that Lilly’s successful gaming back then established the model that we see today.

Indeed. Another example of what would never have happened without civil liability. Clearly, Lilly settled to keep the rest of documents suppressed (no discover in trial). Unless one thinks that their Zyprexa campaign was entirely above board and appropriate, this is the sort of situation that won’t happen if FDA preemption is upheld.

Curious that only one small paragraph appeared on this in the newspapers. Lilly confined it to their hometown newspaper, the Indianapolist Star.
