Bayer-Monsanto to Pay $1.2 Million in a Roundup Cancer Case

Bayer-Monsanto must pay $1.25 million to a man who sued the company alleging he developed cancer from exposure to its Roundup weedkiller, a jury in St. Louis, Missouri found Friday.

W. Wylie Blair, a lawyer for plaintiff John Durnell, said the verdict broke a winning streak for the company, which had prevailed in the previous nine trials over Roundup.
