Plaintiff claimed that exposure to defendant's products caused decedent's terminal lung cancer and sued for $1.6 million for product defect, failure to warn, and negligence.   During a five-month trial, defense counsel Edward Hugo convinced the jury that the defendant's products were not defective and that they did not cause the plaintiff's lung cancer.   The jury found for the defense.
