California Judge Cuts Award To $78.5 Million In Monsanto Weedkiller Case

A superior court judge slashed the punitive damages for Dewayne Johnson — a groundskeeper and pest-control manager at a Northern California school district who contracted cancer — by more than $200 million.

The jury had awarded $250 million in punitive damages and $39.25 million in compensatory damages to a groundskeeper who contracted cancer after spraying a powerful version of the weedkiller Roundup.
