(The following takes place out of the
presence of the jury.)
THE COURT: Good morning.
Today is August 8, 2016. We are here
with regard to the continued trial in the matter of
Valerie Panzarella individually and for the Estate of
Michael Argento versus Charles B. Chrystal Company,
et. al., Docket No. 5418-12, outside the presence of
the jury. Could I have appearances, please, on
behalf of the plaintiff.
MS. LONG: Good morning, your Honor.
Amber Long and Moshe Maimon on behalf of the
plaintiff.
THE COURT: Thank you.
On behalf of the defendant Lorillard?
MR. CEDILLO: Good morning, your Honor.
Ricardo Cedillo and Mr. Stephen DeFeo for Lorillard.
MR. DeFEO: Good morning, your Honor.
THE COURT: Good morning.
On behalf of the defendant Hollingsworth
& Vose.
MR. BERGER: Good morning, your Honor.
Jim Berger and Steve DeFeo for Hollingsworth & Vose.
THE COURT: And on behalf of the
defendant Whittaker Clark & Daniels.

MR. DUNST: Good morning, your Honor.
Alan Dunst and Daniel Kuszmerski on behalf of
Whittaker Clark & Daniels.
THE COURT: Good morning.
So we have an expert witness on behalf of
Lorillard, and that is Dr. -MR. CEDILLO: Roggli.
THE COURT: Thank you. I couldn't
remember his name. I was thinking Eagleman.
MR. CEDILLO: No, that would take much
more time than any of us have. Tell him I said that.
Okay?
THE COURT: So, however, in the meantime
before the jury gets here, we are continuing with
regard to objections to certain designations of the
testimony taken in another matter of M.S. "Chip"
Block.
Okay. Where do we go after -- from
where we concluded last?
MR. MAIMON: Starting on page 41, line
19, your Honor, for the next several pages, and I'll
voice -- it's the same objection through 44-6. This
is talking about the generation or generations of
Kent cigarettes after the relevant time period, and
the waste involved, and whether or not there was

waste in the subsequent products or not. And we
1
would object on relevance grounds.
2
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, the relevance 3
is the suggestion that we were taking the asbestos
4
out because we knew of some great danger. And
5
obviously the truth is quite different. It was a
6
very wasteful process. He explains the differences
7
between the asbestos filter process and the new
8
process, which was faster, cheaper, easier, less
9
labor-intensive and much more economical. And that 10
belies the impression that they've tried to create
11
that we knew it was some sort of dangerous substance 12
we were rushing to -- to -- and took our sweet time
13
to get to. So I think it is relevant.
14
THE COURT: Thank you.
15
Having had an opportunity to review some
16
of this testimony, although it is outside the period
17
of exposure and after the asbestos was taken out,
18
this goes to part of the defense, and that is why
19
asbestos was used in the beginning and why they took 20
it out. And so for that purpose, this portion of the
21
testimony remains in. The objection is overruled.
22
So where do we go next?
23
MR. MAIMON: 44-7 through 12, your
24
Honor. Our objection is not only with regard to the 25
relevance of what is going on today in 1998 when this
witness is giving testimony, but also it gives expert
testimony about what they've learned and what they've
managed to improve and whether or not it's
characteristic of a high-efficiency filter.
THE COURT: Thank you.
MR. CEDILLO: I think it's part of the
story, your Honor. This is the engineer who created
the machine and he's giving his perspective from his
firsthand knowledge.
THE COURT: Thank you.
MR. MAIMON: But it's today.
THE COURT: Well, he's giving the
testimony today.
MR. MAIMON: No, no, he says -- in fact,
"QUESTION: Is that a characteristic of many
high-efficiency filters?"
He says, "Not today, because we have
learned how to improve the thing. That was the first
time we got away from the asbestos-type filter, and
then we managed to make further improvements to get
rid of that objection."
It's not time bound. It's a period
which would span 1956 to 1998, and there's no
indication here as to when that happened.
Page 4806
MR. CEDILLO: The relevance, your Honor,
is that it's talking about the draw, and the features
that make the draw to stay different from the
difficult draw, which was part of our characteristics
that Mr. Argento apparently never picked up on -MR. MAIMON: My point -MR. CEDILLO: -- because he didn't smoke
the original cigarette.
THE COURT: Hold on one moment.
Mr. Berger wanted to add something.
MR. BERGER: No.
MR. MAIMON: That might be relevant,
your Honor, if this were tied to the 1957, 1958, 1960
time period. But this witness is talking about 1998
and today, and so we object.
THE COURT: That second sentence does
not pick up from today. I mean, that first sentence
talks about today, when he's giving the testimony in
1998, you said?
MR. MAIMON: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. But the second
sentence thereafter, "That was the first time we got
away from asbestos-type filter, and then we managed
to make further improvements to get rid of that
objection."

How much -- so this objection is to 7
through 12?
MR. MAIMON: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. How about if we just
got rid of that first sentence where he puts it in
the "today" time frame of 1998, and left the rest of
it?
MR. BERGER: That's all right with us,
your Honor.
MR. CEDILLO: Remove all of line 9 and
10 ending with "thing."
THE COURT: Correct.
MR. CEDILLO: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: So that's what we'll do.
Where do we go next?
MR. MAIMON: 46-18, your Honor, through
48-7. This has to do with equipment used to package
Kents and packaging of Kents and packaging of another
brand called Old Gold, and we object on relevancy
grounds.
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, the integrity
of the packaging has a lot to do with the condition
of the packages that Dr. Longo chose to test, and
this is a description of what they looked like when
they were being manufactured and coming off the

assembly line, and we can contrast that with the
condition that Dr. Longo had. So it's part of that.
That's the relevancy.
MR. BERGER: And it's also -- if I may,
your Honor, it's also foundational to what our
expert, Dr. Reinert, will be able to tie up, that
this kind of packaging, the cellophane that they were
packaged in, was not airtight, could lead to the
degradation over the 40 years between the packaging
and when Dr. Longo tested the cigarettes.
THE COURT: Thank you. Anything
further?
MR. MAIMON: No, your Honor.
THE COURT: For that purpose for which
the defendant seeks to introduce this testimony, it
will be permitted. The objection is overruled.
Where do we go to now?
MR. MAIMON: 55, lines 2 through 3.
THE COURT: Sorry, which lines?
MR. MAIMON: Lines 2 and 3. There's
no -- there's no answer to the question.
MR. BERGER: We can edit that. That's
not a problem, your Honor.
MR. CEDILLO: I think the question was
reasked.
MR. MAIMON: Yes, it was.
MR. CEDILLO: I think 1, 2 and 3 and 4
should come out and it would pick up at 5.
THE COURT: Well, 1 is the end of the
prior answer.
MR. CEDILLO: Sorry, yes.
THE COURT: So 2 through 4 you're going
to take out? Is that correct?
MR. CEDILLO: I think so, your Honor.
MR. BERGER: We'll take out, yeah, 2, 3,
4. That is correct.
THE COURT: Correct.
MR. CEDILLO: Begin at 5.
THE COURT: Where to now?
MR. CEDILLO: Sorry I missed that.
MR. MAIMON: Page 56-2 through -- I'm
sorry -- 58-6.
THE COURT: 56-2 to 58-6. And what's
the nature of the objection?
MR. MAIMON: This calls for expert
testimony, your Honor. What is it about the
condition or the picture in 8-B that would have
prevented it from functioning and performing in the
more manner in which Lorillard intended it, and
whether or not it would be more likely or less likely

to release asbestos, the components of the filter?"
That's on 57.
And he's not qualified as an expert, and
this is giving expert opinion.
THE COURT: Okay. So remind me again.
Mr. Block was an engineer.
MR. CEDILLO: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: And what was his role again?
MR. CEDILLO: He created the machine and
he was in charge.
THE COURT: The machine that made the
cigarettes?
MR. CEDILLO: Yes.
MR. BERGER: The filter. Because the
filter material was so unique, Lorillard had to work
with the machine manufacturers to develop
filter-making equipment. Mr. Block was the chief
engineer of Lorillard at the time involved in the
development of that, as well as running the
manufacturing process and dealing with quality
control during the Micronite time period.
THE COURT: So the testimony in this
particular case, in this Rosenzweig case in 1998, he
was a fact witness, correct, and not an expert?
MR. BERGER: Yes.

MR. CEDILLO: Yes.

THE COURT: Let me just look through
2
these passages.
3
MR. CEDILLO: And your Honor, he's
4
talking about the photographs from the Longo '95
5
report.
6
THE COURT: Okay. So when he's talking
7
about 8-B. Exhibit 8-B in page 56, line 4, that's
8
the Longo photograph he's looking at?
9
MR. CEDILLO: Yes, in the '95 Cancer
10
Research article.
11
THE COURT: The published study.
12
MR. CEDILLO: Yes.
13
THE COURT: Okay.
14
MR. BERGER: And I think while you read 15
this, particularly on page 57, you'll see that he
16
doesn't answer with expert testimony like what we've 17
seen from Dr. Hinds or other witnesses about whether 18
the filter would release fibers. He's giving his
19
testimony as a fact witness about the filter and how 20
it was manufactured and what its characteristics were 21
and how it both physically was formed as well as how 22
it appeared. So I think it's fact testimony.
23
THE COURT: Okay. So as the engineer
24
that created the machine that made the filter, he was 25

there to do test runs on it and correct any issues
during the relevant time frame, and then produced the
final product.
MR. BERGER: Yes, your Honor.
MR. CEDILLO: And followed up to make
sure the quality control, the repetition, the mass
production, was always consistent.
THE COURT: All right. Give me a few
moments.
Based upon the role that Mr. Block
served in creating the machine that made the filter,
this is factual testimony and not expert testimony,
so it all comes in.
Where to now?
MR. MAIMON: 60-18 through 61-11, your
Honor.
MR. CEDILLO: 60-18 is not designated on
my copy.
MR. BERGER: It is.
THE COURT: It is.
MR. BERGER: They have previously not
objected.
MR. CEDILLO: Oh, you had not objected
previously. I'm sorry.
THE COURT: What's the nature of the
objection?
MR. MAIMON: It's actually -- the
objection is the animation, your Honor, and I expect
that they're going to show a computer animation.
THE COURT: Have you seen the animation?
MR. MAIMON: I did, your Honor, and I
don't think there's a qualification for it. It was
an animation that was created by the lawyers and
they're asking him to comment about it, and there's
no foundation laid for it that that animation fairly
and accurately depicts the condition of the
compression.
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, I may be
misremembering. I've had four other court hearings
since I was last here.
THE COURT: Oh, no, we should not have
taken a break.
MR. CEDILLO: But I thought that the
objection has already been dealt with. I remember
Mr. Maimon saying that it made for good theater but
that it shouldn't come in. This is the animation
where it shows how the roll collapses on itself and
goes into a funnel to create it. This is the man who
created the machine. He's explaining how the thing
works. And I thought you ruled it was coming in.

MR. MAIMON: I don't think the Court
dealt with this issue.
THE COURT: Didn't we already have some
sort of animation already?
MR. CEDILLO: Of the manufacturing
process. This is part of it. I think she ruled on
that.
MR. MAIMON: I don't recall -- I have
not -- not this -- I mean, I didn't raise this
before.
MR. BERGER: Mr. Maimon, the entire
manufacturing process had been objected to, and you
already overruled the objection.
MR. MAIMON: The discussion of it. Yes,
your Honor, dealt with the discussion of it. My
objection is to an animation where he's already
described in words above what he did, and now he's
shown an animation by a lawyer, generated by the
lawyers, and there's no foundation for an animation
such as that as required by the rules.
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, it's a
demonstrative aid. He could stand up and draw it and
discuss it, or do it much more quickly with a true
and correct depiction of how it worked. And he says
all that. I don't understand the nature of the

objection.
And I really do think it was dealt with,
because I remember specifically Mr. Maimon saying how
it made for great theater but that it shouldn't come
in.
MR. MAIMON: This is the first time the
word "animation" is present in the transcript, so
this is the first objection. My objection is not to
his description, which he gave in the previous
paragraphs and previous pages, my objection is the
lawyer showing him an animation without following the
rules about how you qualify an animation. Even a
demonstrative aid, you have to qualify, and it's not
qualified yet.
MR. BERGER: Your Honor.
THE COURT: Yes.
MR. BERGER: If you note, plaintiffs are
not objecting to the relevance of this. And as you
have read, it appeared you were reading Mr. Block's
testimony, he goes through and describes what is
happening in the compression funnel and describing
the compression ratio. There's nothing in the
testimony that suggests he thought the animation was
inaccurate or not representative of that segment of
the manufacturing process.

THE COURT: Prior to that, in the
designated lines on line 19 through 20, it says here,
"You showed us on the exhibit the compression
funnel." So are the jurors going to see those
exhibits with the compression funnel?
MR. BERGER: Yeah. What he -- what it
is is -- and I'll stand up -- when he had -- when he
showed the entire manufacturing process going from
the filter to the conveyor belts to the cutting to
the compression funnel, and et cetera, is what the
jurors will see. And so while he is showing how the
filter material goes down the conveyor belt and ends
up becoming a filter, he points out the compression
funnel that is part of that process. So that's what
he's referring back to. The jurors will have already
seen the compression funnel in his explanation.
THE COURT: The exhibits. Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: The jury has seen it.
It's coming back now. It was part of Mr. Orcutt's
video that hasn't been shown. There was a poster
board which I believe was up on the screen.
THE COURT: That's what I remember.
MR. CEDILLO: Yes.
THE COURT: Right.
MR. CEDILLO: And that is now being
animated to show the actual process of the seven
layers -THE COURT: Rolling down.
MR. CEDILLO: -- rolled up into one,
going into the funnel, and that's what he's
describing.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. BERGER: And your Honor, if I may.
MR. MAIMON: Yeah.
MR. BERGER: If I can refer the Court
back to -- you know, at this particular page,
Mr. Ohlemeyer did not -- the defense lawyer did not
ask the foundational question, did you prepare this
animation. But when going through other diagrams and
depictions of the manufacturing process earlier in
the transcript, he did.
So for example, on page -- page 29, when
he is talking about the master roll process on page
29, line 19, Mr. Ohlemeyer asks: "Have you prepared
a drawing of that for us.
"ANSWER: Yes, I have."
Or on page 32, lines 3 through 7:
"Mr. Block, have you also prepared or had prepared at
your direction an animation of that process, the
process of creating a master roll?

"ANSWER: Yes."
So those are just examples throughout
the transcript where Mr. Block has already said, I
was involved in preparing the diagrams or the
animation.
MR. MAIMON: We don't object to the
diagrams.
THE COURT: Is there anything further
you haven't already articulated?
MR. MAIMON: No.
THE COURT: Okay. So here, having
reviewed the testimony beginning with line 18, and
the witness talking about exhibits that the jury is
going to see that show the compression funnel. And,
yes, here he's shown an animation. There is no
foundational in terms of did you prepare this.
However, in reading this testimony, he does not
say -- he does not testify that it is in any way not
accurate. In fact, his description of it is that it
would be accurate.
So I'm going to allow it in despite that
lack of asking the witness whether he prepared it and
is it accurate. By reading the testimony, certainly
this witness would have indicated if there was a
problem with it, and he does not. In fact, he says

here, "Well, here you see how the material goes in
and it's folded over and compressed."
So he talks about that. And he talks
about why it's critical. And so that testimony will
come in.
Where do we go to now?
MR. MAIMON: That was on page 60.
Right, Judge?
THE COURT: Right, 60, and it goes to
61.
MR. MAIMON: Sorry. I missed one
before.
THE COURT: Sure.
MR. MAIMON: At page 52, lines 18
through 22, is the question, but there's
no -- there's no answer to it.
THE COURT: 52, what line?
MR. MAIMON: Eighteen through 22 is the
question. It's restated on 53-16.
THE COURT: Okay. I see that.
Do you see that, Counsel?
MR. CEDILLO: Yes, your Honor. That's
fine, your Honor. We'll take 52 -THE COURT: Eighteen through 22.
MR. CEDILLO: Eighteen through 22 is

So if you're going to have a brand that people keep
coming to buy, you've got to consistently make it the
same way. That's -- that's the connection to it.
THE COURT: Got it. Let me just read
it.
Okay. I'll allow it in for the purpose
for which it's being offered. And the question on
page 61, line 25, asks him first, "Have you heard of
that phrase?" So he says, "Yes." And he says,
"Okay. Tell us what it means."
And so he tells what it means, and then
it goes to the question which goes to this issue of
his area, which goes into product development. So
for that purpose, it is appropriate and I'll allow
it.
Where to now?
MR. MAIMON: 116.
MR. CEDILLO: I have some in between
that. Shall we do them?
MR. MAIMON: Whatever you want.
MR. CEDILLO: We're at page 65 next,
your Honor.

cross-designations?

MR. MAIMON: Twenty-five.

THE COURT: Twenty-five, through where? 7
MR. MAIMON: Through 62-25.
8
THE COURT: And the basis for the
9
objection?
10
MR. MAIMON: The basis is relevance and 11
competency to testify, your Honor. This man is an
12
engineer. He's talking about brand loyalty, which is 13
either marketing or advertising or sales matter. And 14
what he thinks "brand loyal" means is irrelevant.
15
THE COURT: Right. Yes.
16
MR. CEDILLO: Well, your Honor, I think 17
it was a precursor to the question that starts on
18
page 9.
19
THE COURT: Starts on page what?
20
MR. CEDILLO: On line 9 of page 62. The 21
question about "brand loyal" leads to the question at 22
line 9 about consistency in the manufacture of the
23
product promote or help increase brand loyalty. And 24
he is the quality control manufacturing end of it.
25
THE COURT: Okay. Great. And where to
Page 4822
have.
THE COURT: Hold on. It's now
9 o'clock. Ercilyn, why don't you go down at say ten
after, and give them time to assemble.
Let's go off the record momentarily and
let's see if Elias is here.
(A discussion is held off the record.)
THE COURT: I'm sorry. Mr. Cedillo, you
were saying on page 65.
MR. CEDILLO: Page 65, your Honor. At
lines 21 and half of 22, the identification of Thomas
Johnson representing the plaintiffs I think should
come in and let the question continue with line 22,
"As I understand it, you retired from Lorillard."
MR. MAIMON: I think it's important that
the jury know that this is cross-examination, your
Honor. If it's live testimony, and the predicate for
offering this testimony in is that there was fair
cross-examination, and if I were to cross-examine,
the jury would know that it's cross-examination.
THE COURT: I think on the way around it
rather than having the introduction is I can
certainly tell the jurors, you're going to hear both
plaintiff's designations and defendant's
designations, so that the cross-examination is coming

from the plaintiff's attorney. Is that a fair way to
resolve this?
MR. MAIMON: Only if we interrupt the
video at this point to say, now we start the
cross-examination. I have no pride in it being
Mr. Johnson, but I do think that as opposed to just
telling them there will be some cross, that this is
the cross.
THE COURT: Anything further?
MR. CEDILLO: I don't think that's
necessary, but whatever the Court wants to do.
THE COURT: You know what, I'll just
leave it in the way it is rather than interrupting
the video.
MR. CEDILLO: Okay.
THE COURT: Where do we go now?
MR. CEDILLO: Sixty-six, your Honor,
lines 9 through line 4 on page 67. This is all about
other Kent testing -- testimony, rather, in other
cases. We think it's prejudicial, and he's not an
expert witness to be impeached because he's come and
given opinion testimony somewhere else.
MR. MAIMON: This is impeachment, your
Honor. It goes to his bias and his credibility with
the jury that he is a loyal person to Lorillard and

goes around the country giving testimony for them.
THE COURT: Anything further?
MR. CEDILLO: No, your Honor.
THE COURT: All right. So he is being
presented as a fact witness on behalf of Lorillard,
and so it doesn't matter that he is not an expert
witness. It could go to impeaching credibility.
That's what this is setting the stage for in the rest
of the questions, I take it.
MR. MAIMON: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: All right. That stays in.
Where to now?
MR. CEDILLO: I think your ruling just
took care of my objection on 69.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: Page 74. We're okay. I
think you've taken care of 74, also.
76, there's colloquy between counsel
that probably should not be designated, at lines 10
through 14.
THE COURT: What's the purpose of that?
MR. MAIMON: I don't care, your Honor.
I didn't specify it. I just didn't break out where
it should start. I have no problem with lines 10
through 16 coming out.

MR. CEDILLO: Actually, just 14, because

you go on. So it should be 10 through 14.

MR. CEDILLO: You need 15 and 16.

hearsay, your Honor, and prejudicial. It deals with
something called the Wayne memo, which I don't think
is in this case -- not yet anyway.
MR. BERGER: One of the key points, as
you see on page 108, your Honor, is this document,
the Wayne memo, is written in 1958, so it's after the
Kent time period, and it's looking back at the '52
to '56 time period. So what they're discussing about
what the author wrote in 1958 isn't relevant because
the author wasn't there in '52 to '56. So there's no
foundation the author was there.
MR. MAIMON: I wish I would have been
that eloquent in making my argument, your Honor, that
the 1960 studies that Lorillard asked their experts
about and entered into evidence, and the 1964
articles by Dr. Selikoff were not relevant to the
state of the art at the time. Your Honor ruled that
it was relevant to show what was going on at the
time, and this is equally as relevant. The fact that
this is not an expert witness is of no moment. They
offered parts of Dr. First's testimony as fact
testimony because he was there at the time. This is
a qualified document. It's being shown to the
witness and it's being read from.
THE COURT: Yes.

MR. CEDILLO: A big difference in the
categories that he's describing. My objection, I
think, is summarized at page 109 where the payoff
question is: "Do you have any idea where the writer
of that memo could have gotten the idea that anyone
at Lorillard thought it might have been a health
concern?"
He says, "I have no way of knowing."
That isn't a deficiency in
state-of-the-art documents that look back, that are
the opinions of expert witnesses. It's apples and
oranges. The objection here is that the guy is
talking about something he doesn't know where anybody
got any idea and is being used to sponsor it. That's
a big difference.
MR. MAIMON: It is a big difference,
your Honor, because this witness is a loyal Lorillard
witness who -- who wants Lorillard to win. He said
so in the transcript, I believe, although that part
isn't in. But he's being confronted by their
consultant's own words that at the time, namely when
they were making it, there were health hazard
concerns back in 1952, it was felt in some circles to
be a health hazard of its own.
THE COURT: Well, here's the problem,

though, through this witness. So the question is
asked: "Mr. Block, when you worked at Lorillard, did
you ever meet a man by the name of Sidney Wayne?
"I saw him in the office a few times.
Our paths seldom crossed.
"What was -- what was Mr. Sidney Wayne's
job with relation to Lorillard?
"I think he was an outside consultant
for public relations."
So here he says he saw him a few times,
paths seldom crossed. Thinks he was an outside
consultant for PR.
"And did you ever -- I've shown you a
document that's on the letterhead of Sidney J. Wayne,
Incorporated. Correct?
"Apparently yes." And he's shown the
document.
"And it's dated January of 1958.
"Correct."
Again, he says he's shown the document.
"And references Kent filters?
"Apparently it is."
MR. CEDILLO: Kent's new filter, your
Honor.
THE COURT: Oh, Kent's new filter.
Thank you.
"And notice a multitude of corrections
on it. Who was the memo sent to, what initials?
"Well, it says ES from JJ, and I have no
idea who they are."
So they're trying to get this document
in by getting to the ah-ha moment by someone who
seldom crossed paths with him, thinks he was an
outside consultant. And so it's improper coming
through this witness, so none of this is coming in.
Where to now?
MR. MAIMON: So that was through -THE COURT: Through -MR. MAIMON: 109-15?
THE COURT: Correct.
MR. CEDILLO: Next, your Honor, minor,
at 110, lines 8 through 10, just delete the objection
that's designated. It's probably an oversight.
MR. MAIMON: No problem.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: Next, your Honor -MR. BERGER: I think we're back -MR. CEDILLO: -- I think is plaintiff's,
is on 115, maybe -- no, I'm sorry, 116.

issue that the Court reserved on, and that is the
socializing between Dr. Parmele and Mr. Block, and
whether or not he ever saw Dr. Parmele and his wife
smoking Kent cigarettes during the 1950s. It's the
same issue and will abide the same ruling.
MR. CEDILLO: Which I believe you
reserved on.
THE COURT: I did.
MR. CEDILLO: I don't think she ruled
on.
THE COURT: I did not.
MR. CEDILLO: So if you want our
position on that again, your Honor. Dr. Parmele is
the one that is being shown -- they're showing
letters where he says harmful fibers.
THE COURT: Um-hum.
MR. CEDILLO: They don't -- they don't
focus on the absence of or confirm the absence of
harmful fibers. But obviously part of plaintiff's
approach to this is to show that Dr. Parmele had some
knowledge that there were harmful fibers going on.
Well, I think an eyewitness account that
Dr. Parmele smoked these things, that his wife smoked
these things, I think it's only fair to get the other
side of the story. If -- if they want to suggest

that Dr. Parmele was on this campaign because he knew
that the filter contained harmful fibers, I think
that's belied by the fact that he and his wife were
avid smokers, and we have an eyewitness firsthand
account telling it, and I think it's relevant and I
think it's only fair if they're going to suggest he
knew they were harmful, no, he didn't. He was
smoking them and his wife was smoking them.
MR. MAIMON: First of all, we're not
suggesting, your Honor. We are simply reading
documents that are Lorillard documents. So it's not
that we are suggesting anything, we're not suggesting
anything at all.
Secondly, Lorillard has gone out of its
way in every issue to this Court to remove the whole
issue of smoking and health concerns, and so forth.
Dr. Parmele was smoking cigarettes which Lorillard
knew at the time caused cancer, and we will have a
whole host of documents in evidence and witnesses to
show that Lorillard, itself, knew that their product
caused lung cancer. And that was the prejudice that
we talked about. That was the reason, because it
injects into the trial a whole host of issues that
thus far this defendant has fought like the dickens
to keep out.

So if Dr. Parmele and Lorillard knew how
1
dangerous cigarette smoking was, that it causes lung 2
cancer and could kill you -- which they don't want
3
this jury to hear about -- then why was he smoking
4
cigarettes at all?
5
MR. CEDILLO: Well, what he didn't -- we
6
didn't fight like the dickens, your Honor. Their
7
experts and our experts, and everybody almost,
8
stipulated that smoking and lung cancer has nothing
9
to do with mesothelioma. So it wasn't much of a
10
fight.
11
THE COURT: Right.
12
MR. CEDILLO: They agreed to it. And
13
counsel hasn't addressed the very thing that I point
14
out to the Court. They want to show that Parmele had 15
this working knowledge of harmful fibers and so he 16
was working to get it out. This is the other side of
17
the story.
18
THE COURT: I'll allow it in, and on the
19
other part that I had reserved.
20
MR. CEDILLO: Thank you, your Honor.
21
THE COURT: Where to now?
22
Let me ask you, though, a question.
23
This one section on 117 which talks about E-60 and 24
Estron, is that relevant?
25
MR. CEDILLO: That's the replacement
filter, your Honor. That's part of that story.
THE COURT: All right. Where to now?
MR. CEDILLO: I think our next one, your
Honor, is on 120, beginning at line 19, going through
line 24 on 121.
THE COURT: Okay. These are the
defendant's objections to plaintiff's designations?
MR. BERGER: Yes, your Honor.
MR. CEDILLO: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: What's the basis of the
objection?
MR. MAIMON: Sorry, 120?
MR. CEDILLO: 120-19 through 121-24.
Prejudicial and relevance, your Honor. It talks
about smoking and cancer.
MR. MAIMON: Yes, your Honor. So they
want Dr. Parmele's smoking habits to be in because he
would never have smoked those if he knew that
asbestos was dangerous; but he's smoking them, and
everyone knows cancer is a result. You can't have it
both ways.
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, a Readers
Digest article about cancer by the carload, talking
about cancer and cigarettes, when that smoking and
Page 4834
health issue, by their expert's own admission, has
nothing to do with Mr. Argento's mesothelioma, that's
the prejudice and the lack of relevance.
MR. MAIMON: But Mr. Cedillo is mixing
apples and oranges. He's talking about a causation
issue, and they've injected Dr. Parmele's knowledge
about the hazards of their own product into this case
now.
THE COURT: This goes to the notice
issue. It stays in.
Where to now?
MR. CEDILLO: I'm sorry, your Honor. I
didn't understand your ruling.
THE COURT: It goes to the notice issue.
MR. CEDILLO: The notice issue.
THE COURT: Where to now?
MR. CEDILLO: So that's in?
THE COURT: That's in.
Where to now?
MR. BERGER: I think that's it.
MR. CEDILLO: On that transcript, that's
it.
THE COURT: Can we ask the witness to
come in, just in case the jurors come? I would like
him to be seated in the back, unless there's

that follow-up question for me?
MR. BERGER: Yes, your Honor.
MR. CEDILLO: There's a question on Old
Gold.
THE COURT: Even if it's not marked,
don't worry about it.
Okay. So on 925, line 8, through where?
MR. CEDILLO: To 928, line 7, it's a
discussion about Old Gold cigarettes, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. And whose designation
is this?
MR. CEDILLO: I'm sorry, your Honor?
THE COURT: Who has designated this
testimony?
MR. CEDILLO: The plaintiffs.
THE COURT: And what's the basis for the
objection?
MR. CEDILLO: Outside the scope.
MR. MAIMON: Outside the scope of what?
MR. CEDILLO: Anything -- it's about Old
Gold filter cigarettes, which are not in this case.

not have the asbestos that overlaps the time period.

offered?
MR. MAIMON: Your Honor, this is
relevant to the issue of design defect. That they
had a filter on the market that they were
manufacturing at the same time which did not have
asbestos in it. So the feasibility of making such a
filter was there.
And with regard also to notice as to
whether or not you could make such filters, and so
they were making them. We had plenty of testimony
about the processes of making both Kents with and
without asbestos, and now we're talking about a
simple process to make it also without asbestos.
THE COURT: Thank you.
Anything further?
MR. CEDILLO: It's outside the scope of
what they had designated on direct examination, your
Honor.
MR. MAIMON: That's the problem, your
Honor, of calling the witness by videotape, that we
don't get to -THE COURT: Yeah. This goes to the
issue as to the plaintiff's design defect theory. So
I'll allow it in for that purpose.
Are the jurors ready to come in?
MR. CEDILLO: That's it on Block then?
THE COURT: Yes, it is.
(The jury enters the courtroom. The
following takes place in the presence of the jury.)
THE COURT: Nice to see you. Hope you
had a nice week off. Please be seated. Make sure
your cell phones are turned off. The notebooks are
right there, if you wouldn't mind passing them
around.
And this is the continued trial with
regard to Valerie Panzarella individually and for the
Estate of Michael Argento versus Charles B. Chrystal
Company, et. al., Docket No. 5418-12.
Could I have appearances, please?
MS. LONG: Good morning, your Honor.
Good morning. Amber Long and Moshe Maimon for the
plaintiffs.
THE COURT: Thank you.
On behalf of the defendant Lorillard.
MR. CEDILLO: Good morning again, your
Honor. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Ricardo

MR. MAIMON: Thank you.
Okay. So members of the jury, you may
recall when we were last here we heard some testimony
of Mr. Orcutt. We're going to interrupt -- I don't
know that we're finished with that. We are going to
interrupt that in order to accommodate a witness and
present to you live testimony.
The defendants Hollingsworth & Vose and
Lorillard may now call their next witness.
MR. CEDILLO: Thank you, your Honor. We
would call Dr. Victor Roggli at this time.

THE COURT: Good morning, Dr. Roggli.
VICTOR ROGGLI, having been duly sworn, testified as
follows:
THE COURT: Whenever you're ready.
Q. Good morning, sir. Would you give us
your full name for the record?
A. Victor Louis Roggli.
Q. And that's R-O-G-G-L-I.
A. That's correct.
Q. Okay. Dr. Roggli, where do you live,
sir?
A. I live in Durham, North Carolina.
Q. And what do you do for a living?
A. I'm a physician that's specifically a
pathologist.
Q. All right, sir. We're will going to get
into a little bit of detail about what all that
means. Okay?
A. Sure.
Q. Let's start with your educational
background, please. Where did you receive your
undergraduate training, sir?
A. I did my undergraduate work at Rice
University in Houston, Texas, and received a B.A.

degree in biochemistry and environmental engineering
in 1973.
Q. And -THE COURT: I'm sorry. One moment.
MR. DEFEO: Could we have the screen?
THE COURT: Sorry, Doctor. We were
discussing Dr. Roggli's bachelor of arts degree.
MR. CEDILLO: Yes, your Honor. And if
this thing is working, we will have a nice emblem of
Rice University. The Fighting Rice Owls of Houston,
Texas. They're better known for their marching band
than any athletic team. That's another topic for
discussion.
THE COURT: You seem ready to discuss
it.
MR. CEDILLO: No, I'm a Southwest
Conference kind of guy.
Q. Anyway, Doctor, that's the Rice
University we were talking about. Correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. And you graduated in 1973 with your
bachelor's in biochemistry and environmental
engineering. And where did you continue your
education at that point, sir?
A. Well, at that point I went across the
street to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, and
received by M.D. degree from Baylor in 1976.
Q. All right, sir. Are you a member or do
you hold any professional certifications or licenses,
and so forth?
A. I do.
Q. And we'll get to that. At Baylor
College, you ended up being an instructor of some
kind?
A. Yes. As a chief resident, I was an
instructor in pathology. I helped teach the -- the
medical students. That was after I had finished my
M.D. degree in '76 and was training to be a
pathologist from 1976 to 1980.
Q. And you are a licensed doctor, sir?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And where do you hold licenses?
A. In the State of North Carolina.
Q. Have you had one in the State of Texas?
A. I have, yes.
Q. All right. And is your license in the
State of Texas current?
A. No, it's not.
Q. Okay. But the one in North Carolina -A. North Carolina.

Q. -- is where you work and practice?
A. Yes, it is.
Q. And your professional certification,
what is the American Board of Pathology, sir?
A. Well, the American Board of Pathology is
an organization that tries to ensure that those who
practice the specialty of pathology are competent to
do so. And the way they do that is they have certain
requirements for your training, certain number of
years. So the four years that I had at Baylor
College of Medicine satisfied that.
Then once you complete your training,
you have to take a written examination, which at the
time that I did my -- my work in that area, it was a
three-day examination.
And then if you make a certain minimal
score on that exam, then the American Board of
Pathology would declare you as being competent to
practice their specialty.
Q. And what is the American Board of
Forensic Medicine, Doctor?
A. Well, that's a group that is especially
interested in the investigation of -- of
circumstances. A lot of times they're related to
death, so like a medical examiner would do. Quincy,

for example, that sort of examination. And it's
not -- it doesn't include all pathologists, but it
does include specialists who are not M.D.s who have
expertise in certain areas, like fingerprint
analysis, that sort of thing.
Q. And are you a member of this Board, sir?
A. I am.
Q. Okay. Let's talk about your current
employment. You are at Duke University, sir?
A. I am.
Q. And what do you do there?
A. I am professor of pathology there. And
my work typically involves teaching medical students
and residents. I also do research and -- and then I
have a consultation service.
Q. All right, sir.
Let's talk about you being a
pathologist. You mentioned the term a couple of
times. What does a pathologist do, sir?
A. Well, pathology literally means the
study of disease. A pathologist is a physician who
makes diagnoses either from looking at a sample
of -- that a surgeon might take, for example, under a
microscope to make a diagnosis; or a pathologist
makes diagnoses based on fluid samples sent to the

laboratory, such as a blood, urine, or spinal fluid
sample.
Q. All right, sir. And so what is it that
you're actually examining as a pathologist?
A. Yeah. So what we do is we get tissues
sent to the laboratory. When a surgeon or a
physician wants to know what's going on with their
patient and they have tissue samples to figure that
out, then what they do is send those tissue samples
to the laboratory, and those are prepared to make
slides and a stain that a pathologist can then look
at under a microscope. And that's what we do. And
we work with the treating doctors to find out what
information is going on to help them come to the best
diagnosis.
Q. And what is it exactly that you're
looking for when you get these tissues and cells
under a microscope, sir?
A. Well, it depends on what the
circumstances are. But in general, we're looking,
first of all, is this a cancerous process or a
noncancerous process. And if it's not a neoplastic,
not a cancerous process, there's a certain pathway we
go down to try to figure out what's going on.
If it's a cancer, we want to decide what
type of cancer is it, where did it likely come from.
Did they biopsy the primary site, or is this likely a
spread from some other source. So we help the
physicians figure that out.
Q. All right, sir. And, Doctor, do you
specialize in a particular field of pathology or
particular organs?
A. I do.
Q. And what is that, sir?
A. My specialty of area is lung pathology.
And I've especially been interested in diseases
caused by exposures to dusts, mineral dusts.
Q. So the mineral-induced diseases that
this jury has heard a little bit about from other
witnesses?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. That's your specialty?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. All right. And we're going to explore
that, sir.
What types of minerals can cause lung
disease in people, sir?
A. Well, there are a number. The one I
think that certainly received most publicity in this
country is asbestos. Then coal dust can -- can cause

lung diseases. Exposures to talc can cause some lung
diseases. Exposure to silica or quartz, such as from
sandblasting, can cause diseases. And there's a
variety of less common class of minerals you can be
exposed to that can cause lung diseases.
Q. And have you particularly focused on
studying mineral-induced lung diseases, Doctor, in
your career?
A. I have.
Q. And what types of lung diseases can be
caused in humans by minerals, sir?
A. Well, there a big general category, what
we call of scarring of the -- of the lungs, and
there's different patterns of scarring you see with
different minerals. So we're looking to see if you
can find scars in the tissues and what the pattern
is, if we can relate it to a certain type of
exposure.
For some dusts, like asbestos, there are
also cancers that can be caused by the disease. So
we're looking to see if we can identify and diagnose
those cancers accurately, and then try to determine
whether they're asbestos-related.
And then for -- especially for asbestos,
there's diseases of the pleura, scarring of the

pleura and calcification, what we call pleural
plaques. And that's something which we also can look
for pathologically, as well as radiographically by
X-rays.
Q. And I believe other witnesses have
informed the jury about the pleura, which is the
lining of the lung?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. That's an accurate description, sir?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, there's a difference between a
cancer that occurs in the lung versus a cancer that
occurs in the lining of the lung, the pleura.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you studied both?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And the disease that attacks the
lining of the lung, sir, is that mesothelioma?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. Now, what kind of studies have
you been involved with regarding asbestos and
mesothelioma, just generally?
A. Well, I'd say there's two large areas
that I've been involved with. One is making the

correct diagnosis. So I've been involved in doing
studies looking at the various staging procedures
that help us separate mesothelioma from other
diseases it can be confused with. Because cancers
that metastasize or spread to the pleura are a lot
more common than mesothelioma is. So you have to
make sure you're actually dealing with a
mesothelioma, and there's certain procedures you do
to try to make that decision.
The other area I'm involved with is
determining about the causation of mesothelioma, and
we've done that in my laboratory by analyzing lung
tissue for its types and amounts of asbestos.
Q. Okay. The actual diagnosis, there could
be experts that disagree whether or not something is
mesothelioma.
A. That can happen.
Q. Okay. And then the other area that
you've dedicated your career is actually studying,
what, to determine causation? What is it that you
actually look at and delve into?
A. We look at lung tissue samples and
determine the types and amounts of asbestos that are
present.
Q. Okay. And we'll get into a lot more
detail on that in a minute, sir.
Let's stay with the diagnostic side as
opposed to -- by the way, the second part of what
you've dedicated, does that have a term or
descriptive words that we can summarize it as, sir?
A. Well, I think there's a number of terms
you could use. Some people will call it fiber
analysis, some would call it digestion study. But
those are the categories.
Q. All right, sir. Let's stay with
diagnosis issues first and then we'll talk about the
fiber digestion and fiber analysis, sir.
What are the diagnostic issues for
mesothelioma, Doctor?
A. Well, first, we have to decide is it a
malignant process or not. Because it can be
difficult to separate mesothelioma from just benign
changes that occur from -- let's say you get
inflammation, an infection involved in the pleura.
The lining cells of the pleura react to that
infection. They become very angry-looking and
enlarged, and you have to be careful that you don't
call that as being a malignancy. So there's a number
of ways we can do an approach to make sure we're
dealing with a cancer and not a reactive process.

And then, as I mentioned, there are many
cancers that can spread to the pleura secondarily and
mimic a mesothelioma, but actually they're cancers
that start from somewhere else. So we need to be
able to identify those accurately, as well.
Q. And what do you do in dealing with
diagnostic issues? Is there a professional
association or organization that you belong to that
deals specifically with the issues of confusion of
cells and getting the right diagnosis, sir?
A. Well, there's actually several, I would
say. The first one that comes to mind is the
U.S./Canadian Mesothelioma Panel, which is a group of
12 physicians who have a special interest in the
diagnosis of mesothelioma. We act as a referral
panel to give second opinions to other doctors who
either have difficult cases; or because mesothelioma
is a relatively rare disease, a pathologist may not
be comfortable making the diagnosis and will send it
to us to see if we agree.
So there's also an International
Mesothelioma Panel which contains members from the
U.S./Canadian panel, the French panel, the British
panel, the Australian panel and Japanese panel. So
I'm a member of that panel, as well.

And also, the Pulmonary Pathology

Society, in general, which was formed in about 1995, 2
I believe, is also very interested in the disease of
3
mesothelioma. So we've -- and there's an
4
International Mesothelioma Interest Group Pathology 5
Panel that has written about the diagnosis of this
6
disease, as well.
7
Q. All right. Let's -- let's spend a
8
little time on the U.S./Canadian panel, sir. You
9
said it's made up of 12 members?
10
A. Yes, sir.
11
Q. I'm going to go out on a limb and say
12
it's made up of 12 from the U.S. and Canada together? 13
A. It's close. There's one from the United
14
Kingdom also on the panel.
15
Q. What, you just counted them as part of
16
Canada?
17
All right, sir. And there's only 12
18
that comprise this board?
19
A. Yes.
20
Q. And you're one of them?
21
A. Yes, sir.
22
Q. Is -- I'm not asking you to toot your
23
own horn, but is that a pretty big deal that you sit
24
on a panel like this as a resource for other doctors?

A. Well, I think so. I think it indicates
that I have a recognized expertise in the area, yes,
sir.
Q. So -- and just on a simple example.
There's a doctor or a pathologist somewhere that
doesn't know whether or not he's looking at
mesothelioma, and he'll send it to you guys, you 12?
A. Yes.
Q. And then what happens?
A. The person who is the chairman of the
panel looks at the case; and if it's an easy case,
he'll just write a report based on -- based on the
panel and send it back.
If it's a difficult case, or a very
interesting case, he will then send out slides from
the case to each of the panel members, and we have a
standard form which we fill out about each case and
send it back to him. And then he will take the
opinions of the group and pass that on to the doctor
who referred the case.
Q. All right. And then the other
organizations that expand beyond the U.S. and Canada
that you mentioned, you're a member of those, as
well?
A. I am.
Q. All of them that you mentioned?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And the one that's international, how
many members make that up, sir?
A. I think it's around 15 members.
Q. Any of the other gentlemen or ladies
from the U.S./Canadian also on the international
panel, other than yourself?
A. Yes.
Q. So it's probably a small group of go-to
people that you make yourself available to other
doctors to assist in the diagnostic problems that
come with mesothelioma?
A. Yeah. The International Mesothelioma
Panel is a little different because we don't look at
individual cases. Instead, we meet every year in the
spring with the United States/Canadian Academy of
Pathology meeting, and we discuss the interesting and
important topics about the disease. So we are more
of an -- the International Mesothelioma Panel is more
of an academic organization. We publish -- we
published a monograph and have -- have been involved
with other publications, as well.
Q. And on average, how many cases do you
get to work on as part of this work, being a member

of these panels, sir, in, say, a 12-month period?
A. It varies. I would say maybe we get,
these days, Dr. Churg publishes about one case a
month maybe. Over the years I've been a member of
the panel, I would say that I've probably seen 500 or
600 mesotheliomas associated with that.
Q. And are you compensated for that,
Doctor?
A. No.
Q. Now, do you have other areas of research
in addition to asbestos and mesothelioma? Do you
look at other -- other topics, other areas as a
researcher?
A. Yes. I'd say that -- that of the
articles and chapters in books that I've written,
95 percent, at least, deal with some aspect of lung
pathology. So other aspects of lung pathology, like,
diagnosis of lung cancer is an area that I've been
interested in.
We've mentioned pneumoconiosis, other
than asbestos, I've written and published about. So
there's been a number of things along those lines.
Q. And are you involved in case reports on
unique presentations of tumors, for example?
A. Sure.

on individual patients, Doctor?
A. Sometimes if it's a very interesting or
very rare association, we'll report it in an
individual case report. But most of the time it's a
group -- a number of different cases that are related
in some way that we put together into -- into one
study.

cohorts?
A. Typically, yes.

report is an epidemiological study, Doctor?

it is, you as a scientist and as a medical

epidemiological study?
A. No, I don't think so. Case reports,
I've always been taught it's a suggestion about a
possible association. And then once you have the
case reports, it's necessary to either do animal
studies or epidemiological studies to confirm. It's
what we call a hypothesis-generating process.
So we find a single case report that
says, hey, there may be something going on. We need
to do additional studies to see is it, in fact, going
on and what are the mechanisms that are causing it to
happen.
Q. And Doctor, you have done
epidemiological studies on asbestos and mesothelioma,
have you not?
A. I'd say I haven't done the formal
epidemiological studies that are -- that are the
typical -- typical ones that -- longitudinal studies
or cross-sectional studies. But I think that we've
looked at very large numbers of cases, so they can be
known as descriptive epidemiological studies.
Q. All right, sir.
Let's talk about the fiber digestion, or
I've heard the term fiber burden analysis.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. What is a fiber burden analysis, Doctor?
A. Well, that's an attempt to determine how
much and what types of asbestos are present in lung
tissue samples. And it was determined many years
ago, in 1968, and then again in 1972, that everybody
has some amounts of asbestos in their lungs. And so
just simply to say there's asbestos present doesn't
mean anything. You have to quantify. You have to
compare it with a proper control group. And so that
indicates what a fiber burden analysis study is.
Q. And when you do a fiber burden analysis,
you actually look at lung tissue?
A. Yes, we take lung tissue samples. You
dissolve them or get -- you've got to get rid of the
organic matrix of the lung, itself, in which the
fibers are embedded so that you can then look
at -- carefully look at the fibers. So you come up
with something that will destroy the tissue but not
the fibers.
And a simple way to do that that is very
popular is to use Clorox bleach, just like you can
buy off a grocery store shelf, because it will
dissolve the lung tissue away and leave the mineral
fibers, mineral particles behind. You can then
concentrate them on the surface of a filter and study

that filter, quantify the amounts of asbestos
present.
Q. All right. Sir, once you have digested
away the tissue and you're left only with the
minerals, you look at it how, sir?
A. We look at it two ways. One is with the
regular light microscope, and count structures that
we call asbestos bodies, and those are fibers that
have been coated with this golden brown protein iron
material that allows us to see it with a regular
light microscope. So we use a regular light
microscope to count asbestos bodies.
And then we use a form of electron
microscopy to look at mineral fibers, many of which
are too small to be seen with the light microscope,
beyond the resolution of the light microscope, and
that has an attachment which allows us to determine
the actual fibers that are present. We can focus the
electron beam on the individual particle or fiber and
collect a spectrum of X-rays that tell us what the
elemental nature of that fiber is, and that it gives
us a fingerprint of what type of fiber that is.
Q. And, Doctor, that is a process that you
personally are involved in, looking through the
microscope and conducting this analysis, sir?

A. It is.
Q. Okay. And how many lung fiber
burden -- fiber burden analysis of lungs, how many
would you estimate you've performed in your career,
sir?
A. There's over 2,600 filters that I've
counted with the light microscope for asbestos body
counts. And there's more than 1,300 separate cases
that we've looked at with the electron microscope to
determine the amount of fibers that are present.
Q. And, Doctor, currently do you have a
database of these fiber burden results that you've
conducted and been involved in?
A. Yes.
Q. And when you do a fiber burden analysis,
do you do it in your lab?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. You don't send that out anywhere,
you do it yourself. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. How do you identify the types of
asbestos fibers or the minerals that -- particles
that you're looking at? What process do you use to
actually identify the specific particles and types of
minerals that are being examined?

A. Well, I started doing this in 1976 when
I was still a resident in training in pathology. So
the first thing we had to do was get samples of known
asbestos that we could analyze and see what sort of a
fingerprint you'd expect, or spectrum you'd expect to
get from them. So we did that. And there were some
samples called UICC samples that you can write off
for and get.
And then, once you know what the
asbestos fiber types, various asbestos fiber types
look like with the spectrum, then you can find the
fibers with the electron microscope. And you focus
your electron beam and you collect a spectrum that
tells you what the composition of that fiber actually
is.
Q. And then you've got the sample that
you've broken down and analyzed, and you get to match
them up to see what it is that you actually examined
and looked at.
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. Is it -- is it an easy process to
be able to look at mineral particles and determine
what type of asbestos it is, sir?
A. Well, it's -- it's really not rocket
science. But there's certain procedures you've got
to follow, and -- and in order -- and it's tedious to
do. It's time-consuming. Takes an ability to
concentrate. And I think that people who have a
little bit of obsessive compulsive disorder are
probably better at doing it than others. That's me.
I have a little bit of OCD.
So, yeah, it's tedious and it's
difficult and time-consuming to do, but
it's -- it's -- it's a recipe, and it's pretty easy
to follow.
Q. And this database that you've compiled
with these thousands of fiber burden cases that
you've examined, sir, what kind of information are
you compiling to create this database?
A. Well, we have information about who the
patient is, when we wrote our report, who sent it to
us, whether it's from a plaintiff attorney or a
defense attorney, or from another doctor. It
has what the Duke number was, what the specimen
number is, because we give a number to each pathology
specimen that comes into the laboratory. And of
course, the hospital it came from has its own
specimen number, so we have that number also in the
database.
I think I mentioned the daily report.

Then we also have the diagnosis of the patient. Any
additional diagnosis that might be of importance.
We have information about what the
person's exposure was and how long they were exposed.
And we have information about if they smoked and how
much they smoked; and if they quit, when they quit.
We have information about if they had
the disease asbestosis, which is scarring of the
lungs from asbestos; if they have the disease pleural
plaques; whether or not we did a fiber analysis. And
from those that we did a fiber analysis on, then
there's a whole string of columns of information we
fill in based on what we found.
Q. And over what period of time have you
been compiling or adding to this database, Doctor?
A. Well, I collected the cases. I think
the very first cases that I had in my files was from
about 1981, not very long after I got to Duke. And I
saved files on those cases, and when I met my -- my
wife in 1990, she was much more computer savvy than I
was, so she helped me develop a database that would
allow me to put information about the cases in. So
that's when I started, in 1990.
So from that point on, I added the new
cases in. And then every week I'd try to go through

ten of the old files and add them in until I caught
up to present day.
And then around 2000 we converted to
another type of database which is much more
user-friendly and compatible with Microsoft
documents. And so I continued to add the cases as we
get them.
And another thing about the database is
it's a living database. If I get new information
about a case in that I didn't have before, then I can
change what was in the database before by putting
that new information in.
Q. Doctor, what role has that database had
in terms of your research you've done to advance
medical and scientific knowledge?
A. Well, the research questions
that -- that we study, they come from up here. They
come from the experience that I have working with the
cases, looking at cases. I may say, you know, it
seems that this is something that is happening that
we're seeing here, we should study this and look and
see if that's the case or not. It's sort of a
hypothesis-generating process.
The database actually serves -- it's a
convenience for going and rapidly finding the

information without having to go back to an entire
file and go through it all over again, reinventing
the wheel, so to speak. So I look at it as being a
convenience, a shortcut.
Q. Sure.
Now, Doctor, let's move on to another
general topic.
During your career, and as a result of
this research that you've generally described, sir,
have you learned about the use of the different types
of asbestos fibers in products?
A. I have.
Q. Okay. And have you learned about the
use of the different fiber types of asbestos in the
workplace?
A. Yes.
Q. And you've mentioned and the jury has
heard some about electron microscopy. Is that
something that you've worked hands-on with?
A. It is.
Q. And consider yourself competent and
capable in that area, as well?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. Now, let's talk about your
publications, sir. Have you published scientific
papers; and if so, how many?
A. In the peer-reviewed literature, I think
there's more than 200 papers on my CV that have
either been published or accepted for publication in
the scientific literature.
Q. And have any of these publications been
on asbestos and asbestos-related diseases?
A. I would say about half, or a little more
than half, have something to do with asbestos or
asbestos-related diseases.
Q. When is the first time you published on
asbestos and asbestos-related disease, Doctor?
A. I think it was 1979 or 1980.
Q. When did you get your medical degree?
A. 1976 I got my medical degree, and
finished my residency training in 1980.
Q. So right about the time you finished
your residency, you were already publishing in this
area?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And have you published any books
on asbestos or asbestos-related diseases, Doctor?
A. I have.
Q. Okay. What is the Pathology of
Asbestos-Associated Diseases?

A. Well, that's a textbook that I first put
together with two of my mentors, Dr. Greenberg and
Dr. Pratt. And I think it was about 1987 that I
started working on it, because I was working on
medicolegal cases, and the reports, I had to put all
these different references, and I thought, boy, it
sure would be nice if all of these were in one place.
And I thought, we should write a book and put it in
one place. So I spent about five years putting the
book together with my two mentors, and it was
published in 1992, was the first edition.
Then our second edition came out in
2004, which I published with a couple of my trainees.
And then in 2014 the third edition came
out with those same two trainees.
Q. All right, sir. I have the third
edition here. I may refer to it, so let me put it up
there for you.
And who uses this book? How do you find
it?
A. Well, since it talks about pathology,
pathologists would refer to it. I think any doctor
who is dealing with a case of -- of possible
asbestos-related disease could -- could find some
useful information there. People who do research in

the area may refer to it, and that would include
radiologists who are interested in asbestos or lung
diseases. Pulmonologists, pathologists. So there's
lots of different specialties that have been
involved. But I've often been told that I sold more
copies of the book to lawyers than anybody else.
Q. Including this one.
Doctor, you said the first edition was
with your mentors. Who are your co-authors in this
third edition, sir?
A. The third edition, the co-authors are
Tim Oury, who was my first trainee in 1996; and Dr.
Tom Sporn, who was my second trainee in 1997.
Q. And what topics are generally covered in
this third edition, sir, the current one?
A. Well, we try to cover everything
asbestos-related. The first chapter, we say what
asbestos is.
The second chapter is more or less where
you can get exposed to asbestos.
The third chapter is dedicated to
talking about asbestos bodies that I mentioned
earlier.
The fourth chapter talks about the
disease asbestosis.

The fifth chapter talks about the
disease mesothelioma, specifically about the
diagnosis and causation of that disease.
Chapter 6 deals with benign pleural
diseases, like pleural plaques that I mentioned
previously.
Chapter 7 deals with lung cancer.
Chapter 8 deals with other cancers that
have been suggested to be associated with asbestos.
Chapter 9 deals with the use of
cytopathology, which is a special branch of pathology
that looks at individual cells rather than tissue,
and how it can be useful in asbestos-related
diseases.
Chapter 10 talks about experimental
animal studies, what they helped us to learn about
asbestos.
Chapter 11 talks about fiber analysis.
Then the last two chapters are written
by lawyers, one by plaintiff's side, the other by the
defense side, talking about how they see pathology as
being helpful to their cases.
Q. Okay. And throughout the various topics
that you've listed in all these chapters, sir, would
the topic of the historical uses of asbestos be
treated?
A. Yes. In many of the chapters there is a
section called "Historical Background," which sort of
gives the basic information. On asbestosis, for
example, when did we first learn about asbestosis and
when were the first publications, when was the term
first used in literature. So that information is in
there, yes.
Q. So in addition to historical use of
asbestos, you would find in your book the development
of the scientific and medical knowledge about
asbestos, Doctor?
A. To some degree, yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And would you have discussions in
there on the types of asbestos that have been used in
the United States?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And how people have been exposed
to asbestos, including occupations and
asbestos-containing products. Is that a topic that
we would find there?
A. Yes.
Q. And how asbestos fibers enter the body
and the effects of asbestos fibers on humans and in
animal research. Would that be a topic covered

there?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And are all those topics that you're
knowledgeable and comfortable discussing with us if I
were to ask you some questions about it?
A. Sure.
Q. Okay. Are there any other books on
asbestos or asbestos-related diseases that you've
published, sir?
A. I've published other books that -- that
deal somewhat with that issue. We -- one of my
colleagues and I published two editions of a book.
One book called Microprobe Analysis in Medicine,
which is basically that technique I was telling you
about, identifying a particle under a microscope and
figuring out what its elemental composition was, its
fingerprint was from a spectrum. So that book deals
with that issue and how it's used in pathology in
general, especially lung pathology.
And the second edition of that book was
called Biomedical Applications of Microprobe
Analysis. And both of those have sections in them
about asbestos.
Q. Okay. What about "The Pathology of
Malignant Mesothelioma"? Is that a publication that

you were involved in?
A. "Pathology of Malignant Mesothelioma," I
believe, was a monograph that was put together by
members of the International Mesothelioma Panel. I
mentioned that we were mainly a research panel, that
we met on a yearly basis. And the chairman of the
panel was involved with putting the book together,
but each of us had a contribution which we wrote
into -- I have called it a monograph, in that it's a
very limited focused topic but goes into great detail
on it.
Q. All right, sir.
New topic, Doctor. Can you tell us what
the Helsinki Symposium on Asbestos, Asbestosis and
Cancer, what was that? What is that?
A. Yes, that met initially in January of
1997 in Helsinki, Finland. And there were 19 people
around the world who were invited to participate in
that meeting, and I was one of the individuals who
participated in that.
And so we met for three days in Helsinki
to try to come to a consensus about how do you
diagnose asbestos-related diseases and how do you
determine when asbestos is the cause.
Q. Now, you said there were 19

internationally?
A. Yes.
Q. And you were one of them?
A. Yes.
Q. How many of that 19 were from the United
States?
A. Four.
Q. So you are one of four from this country
that participated in this symposium?
A. Correct.
Q. All right, sir. And what -- what were
you trying to accomplish or what was your goal and
objective, and did you meet it?
A. Yeah. I think we did meet it. We were
trying to determine how do you go about diagnosing
asbestos-related diseases, which -- which we wrote a
monograph about 100 pages long that details about
that, with a number of chapters in that monograph.
And then about how to determine when
the -- when the disease is related. And I think we
gave some good general guidelines for other
physicians to use.
Q. So it's -- it's a published criteria now
of attribution of asbestos-related diseases you might
find in people?
A. Yes.
Q. And when was it first published?
A. 1997.
Q. And has it been in effect or in use
since that time, sir?
A. Yes. And we met again in February of
2014, and there were certain topics which we
addressed and updated, and that was also published as
a monograph, and then as an article which was a
summary of what the monograph says.
Q. And we've got the cover of one that has
a 2014 in its title. Is that the most recent one,
sir?
A. It is.
Q. And, again, you've been involved with
them since they first met back in the '90s?
A. Yes.
Q. All right, Doctor.
Now, you work at Duke University.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you have any other duties at Duke in
addition to this diagnostic work that you've been
describing, sir?
A. Yeah. I think I mentioned earlier that

I'm involved as a teacher. I teach medical students
and residents in training, which we have a residency
program for training individuals to become
pathologists. And I also do the research work.
Q. All right, sir. And you teach pathology
to medical students?
A. I do.
Q. And how long have you been doing that at
Duke, sir?
A. Thirty-one years.
Q. Now, are you part of any other
professional organization other than the
U.S./Canadian Mesothelioma Panel that we've
discussed, sir?
A. Yes.
Q. I think you mentioned the International
Mesothelioma Panel?
A. Yes.
Q. What is the American College of Chest
Physicians?
A. That is a college of physicians who are
especially interested in diseases of the chest. That
would include surgeons who are members of that.
Radiologists are members. Pulmonologists are
members. Occupational medicine doctors are members,

Q. What is the Microscopy Society of
America, MSA?
A. Yeah, that's an organization which is of
individuals who use microscopic techniques for
different purposes. Maybe for forensic purposes. It
may be for teaching purposes. It may be for
diagnostic purposes.
Q. And is that the one that you've got to
be diagnosed as obsessive compulsive before you can
join?

helps.

the International Mesothelioma Panel a little
earlier, did you not?

all these organizations and have been for many years?

asbestos-associated diseases for about, what,
40 years now?
A. Correct.
Q. All right, sir. And how many
mesothelioma cases would you estimate that you've
reviewed in this 40-year time span, Doctor?
A. In my own private consultation files,
last week we hit case number 4,000 of mesotheliomas
that I've seen in consultation.
And in addition, I think I mentioned
five or six hundred additional cases I've seen with
the U.S./Canadian Mesothelioma Panel. Only a very
few of those overlap with the cases in my
consultations files.
And then probably another 100 or 200
that I've seen over the years, the 35 years I've been
at Duke and the VA.
Q. Duke and the VA?
A. Yeah, Durham VA Hospital. I actually
was there from 1980 to September of 2006.
Q. All right, sir.
And are all these cases that you've just
described, have they made their way into your
database?
A. The 4,000 have. Not the cases that are
patients at Duke, private patients at Duke, unless
they were referred to us to do a fiber analysis. And
then they're probably in the database. If I did a
fiber analysis, they are in the database.
And then the cases of the U.S./Canadian
Mesothelioma Panel are not in my database, no.
Q. All right, sir. And have you
specifically published in the medical and scientific
literature on topics where your database was used as
a resource?
A. Yes.
Q. Tell us about that, if you could
quickly, sir. How have you used the database to
publish articles on asbestos-associated diseases?
A. Well, in 1993, I wrote a paper with a
couple of my colleagues saying that amosite is the
main type of asbestos fiber that you find in
mesothelioma patients in the United States. And that
was a study of 94 patients. It was very heavily
loaded with people who were insulators or shipyard
workers. So even though amosite was the main fiber
type, I was a bit concerned that -- that that may
have been heavily influenced by the fact that we had
lots of insulators and lots of shipyard workers. So
I had a fellow who -- who was working with me, my

third fellow in training, who was interested in a
project. And it turned out that she had access to
someone, her husband, who was a computer ace and who
could take my old archaic database and upgrade it
into a much more user-friendly form. And so we asked
the question, okay, let's look at the occupational
groups of mesothelioma and see how they are
classified, and then look at the cases where we've
done fiber analysis in those cases and see if amosite
continues to be a main cause of asbestos in the
United States regardless of what the occupational
category is.
So we asked that question. The database
was then able to find the patients for which we had
diagnosed mesothelioma and for which we knew
something about their exposure information, there was
something entered under "Exposure" column, and that's
how the study proceeded.
Q. All right, sir. And that study was in
the '90s, I think you said?
A. It was about right around 2000, because
I think we finished the study in 2001. It was
published in 2002.
Q. Okay. And in 2002, did you publish the
article that's referred to in the scientific and

medical literature as the 1,445 case article?
A. Yes.
Q. What was that one, sir?
A. That was the one I was just talking
about where we had 1,445 mesothelioma patients where
we knew something about what their exposure
information was. So then we could see what sort of
categories these cases fell into, and look into more
detail as to what we found in terms of diseases they
had, accessory conditions they had, and what fiber
analysis showed.
Q. And the jury has heard from others, and
I'm confident you'll agree, sir, that asbestos is a
cause of mesothelioma.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And in your experience based on the
research you've conducted, the database that you've
maintained, and so forth, do asbestos-caused
mesotheliomas tend to occur in any particular group
or groupings of people?
A. Yes. One of the interesting things we
found from the study is that over 90 percent of our
cases fit into one of 12 industries, one of six
occupations, or one particular nonoccupational group.
And the study was really a limited number of types of

exposures out there that were accounting for almost
all of the 1,445 mesotheliomas that we studied.
Q. And how would you describe the physical
characteristics of the people that are getting
asbestos-associated diseases, sir, by gender?
A. First of all, we found -- and it's not
unexpected at all -- the vast majority were men,
because historically men were the ones who were
involved in the occupations where there was a
significant exposure to asbestos.
And secondly, the vast majority of them
were pleural mesotheliomas, because that's by
far -- the ones that occur in the chest are the ones
by far are the most common mesotheliomas.
Q. And so for the men who have
mesothelioma, sir, what percentage is caused by
exposure at the workplace?
A. What we found by analyzing lung tissue
samples is that 86 percent of our men with pleural
mesothelioma have an abnormal elevated asbestos
content, and the vast majority of those were from
workplace exposure.
Q. All right.
Now, during these four decades of work
in this field, sir, have you identified causes of
mesothelioma other than asbestos?
A. Sure.
Q. They do exist?
A. Yes.
Q. And what are some of these other causes
that may be out there, sir?
A. Well, it's well recognized that
radiation, prior radiation, therapeutic radiation is
a cause of mesothelioma. We actually just published
a study last year looking at people who have had one
type of cancer that's common in childhood or young
adults for which they almost always get radiation.
There's a high percentage of cures, and so there's a
high percentage that live another 20 or 30 years, and
a significant number of those were developing
mesothelioma. So that's one recognized cause is
therapeutic radiation.
Another is other mineral fibers that are
not classified as asbestos; but from looking under a
microscope, they have a lot of features that are
similar to asbestos. One is called erionite.
Another one is called fluoro-edenite.
The erionite has been mainly causes of
mesothelioma in the country of Turkey, and the
fluoro-edenite in the country of Sicily.

Then there are cases that are related to
inflammation, chronic inflammation for long periods
of time. One disease that can cause chronic
inflammation in tissues for a long period of time is
tuberculosis. So it's been recognized that some
people get tuberculosis involving the pleural space
that just smolders there for decades. And a few of
those patients have gone on to develop mesothelioma
in those areas. So chronic inflammation is thought
to be a precursor in some cases.
Q. The jury has heard from others, let me
ask you the question. During your decades-long study
of mesothelioma, have you learned whether cigarette
smoking can cause mesothelioma?
A. Yes.
Q. And can it?
A. No, I don't think it's -- it does not
have an effect on mesothelioma. Someone suggested
that what happens in cigarette smoking, it interferes
with normal clearance mechanisms, so that can result
in more fibers than usual in the lung. But cigarette
smoking also causes your airways to become narrower
and have a thicker mucus blanket, so that can cause
less fibers to get to the periphery of the lung. So
you don't know which of those is more important, and

epidemiological studies show no effects of smoking on
lung cancer rates. So apparently those two factors
are a wash, they cancel each other out.
Q. And then just to close out the subject,
sir. Are there some causes of mesothelioma that you
just cannot explain the cause?
A. Yes.
Q. And what do you call those, and do they
occur?
A. Yes. In our database, my database,
about 14 percent of mesotheliomas in men and
16 percent of all the mesotheliomas that we have
are -- have asbestos contents not different from a
control population. No evidence they're
asbestos-related. And those are called idiopathic or
spontaneous mesotheliomas.
Q. All right, Doctor.
Now, sir, you're here to give some
opinion testimony to questions that I ask you. Is
that correct?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Doctor, can we agree that any of your
answers that you're giving and opinions that you're
going to offer, you're going to give those answers
today within a reasonable degree of scientific and

Q. We can agree on that?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And I'm going to ask you now a series of
questions to establish the summary of what I'm going
to be offering you as an expert on. Okay?
A. Sure.
Q. So in conjunction with your own
research, Doctor, your own publishing and your
teaching, do you study the medical and scientific
research and literature related to asbestos and
disease?
A. I do.
Q. And based on your research and
experience, are you familiar with the types and
characteristics of asbestos fibers?
A. I am.
Q. And are you familiar with the historical
uses of different types of asbestos fibers in
different categories of products?
A. Yes.
Q. And are you familiar with the types of
asbestos fibers commonly found in different kinds of
workplaces and in environments historically?
A. Yes.
Q. And based on your research and
experience, do you understand the potential causes of
mesothelioma, Doctor?
A. Yes.
Q. And based on your research and
experience, do you understand the types of asbestos
fiber exposures that are associated specifically with
mesothelioma?
A. Yes.
Q. Are you familiar with the historical
progression of the science on the levels and types of
asbestos exposures that are associated with disease?
A. Yes.
Q. And are you familiar with how the human
body processes inhaled particles and fibers?
A. Yes.
Q. And have you reviewed the medical
records of Mr. Argento, the plaintiff in this case?
A. I have.
Q. And have you reviewed the deposition
testimony and other materials that describe
Mr. Argento's smoking history and potential asbestos
exposure?
A. I have.

A. I have.
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, at this time I
would offer Dr. Roggli as an expert witness on the
subjects of lung pathology, asbestos and
asbestos-associated disease.
THE COURT: Any objection?
MR. MAIMON: No objection.
MR. DUNST: No objection, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. This witness is now
qualified as an expert in lung pathology, asbestos
and asbestos-related disease.
MR. CEDILLO: Thank you, your Honor.
THE COURT: You know what? Rather than
interrupt your direct, because we're close to our
break time, we'll take the morning break now.
Fifteen minutes. Leave your notebooks here.
Remember all the instructions I've provided during
the course of this trial. A member of my staff will
pick you up downstairs at 10:30.
(The jury leave the courtroom.)
THE COURT: All right. And we're off
the record. I'll see everyone in 15 minutes.

Q. Doctor, you had mentioned that the book
7
that we brought out, the third edition, you said
8
something about probably more lawyers have been
9
buying it than doctors?
10
A. Yes.
11
Q. And you mentioned that the last chapter,
12
one is written from a plaintiff's lawyer perspective
13
and one chapter is written by a defendant lawyer
14
perspective. Is that correct?
15
A. Yes, sir.
16
Q. I gather, then, we can safely conclude
17
that you, Doctor, have been involved in
18
asbestos-related litigation as part of your work
19
these four decades?
20
A. I have.
21
Q. Okay, sir.
22
Now, when did you begin your involvement 23
in asbestos-related litigation, Doctor?
24
A. I'd say probably the first case that I

saw that was a litigation case was 1981, though I was
neither deposed in it nor did I testify in that case.
Probably around '82 or '83, I had the
first depositions done and testified in some work
comp cases. And then in 1985 was the first jury
trial that I testified in.
Q. Okay. And, Doctor, since the '80s
through today, have you involved yourself in
litigation on both sides of the docket, the plaintiff
and the defense side?
A. I have.
Q. And have your opinions on asbestos and
asbestos-associated disease, have they changed over
the years, Doctor?
A. Sure. They've been refined from a
number of issues as more information became
available.
Q. And have you testified in the past
regarding Kent cigarettes with the
asbestos-containing filter material, what we've
called the original Kent cigarette? Have you
testified in original Kent cases before, Doctor?
A. I have.
Q. And did you testify for the plaintiff or
the defense?
A. Plaintiff.
Q. Have you ever testified for the defense
of the Kent original filter before this case?
A. No -- well, in terms of in a court?
Q. Yes.
A. If you consider depositions testimony,
I've given depositions.
Q. But in court. Now, have you testified
for Lorillard Tobacco Company Kent, or were you
testifying for Hollingsworth & Vose?
A. The latter.
Q. The latter. So for Kent cigarettes, for
Lorillard Tobacco, have you been a person who has
testified on behalf of the original Kent cigarette?
A. I don't think so.
Q. But you have testified against the
original Kent cigarette. Correct?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And we're going to explore that,
sir. Let's do that now.
When you testified against the
Kent -- original Kent cigarette, sir, what time frame
are we talking about?
A. I believe the last time I testified in a
Kent case was 1997.

Q. All right, sir. And your opinions were
what in the 1997 time frame when you testified
against the Kent original filter?
A. Using certain information and making
certain assumptions, I believed that it was likely
that the crocidolite from the Kent filter was a
contributing factor to the patient's mesothelioma.
Q. All right, sir.
Let's explore. Obviously -- I say
obviously because I brought you here -- have you
changed your mind?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And we're going to explore why
you changed your mind. But before we do that, I want
to explore what your rationale was, what reasons did
you have back in the '90s when you were testifying
against the original Kent cigarette. Let's talk
about that first. Okay?
A. Sure.
Q. What were some of those reasons for the
opinions that you were giving at that time, sir,
specifically?
A. Well, one had to do with crocidolite
being the most potent fiber type in terms of the
cause of mesothelioma. And the other main reasons

were that using -- making some calculations based on 1
a study that had been published, I believe in 1995,
2
by Dr. Longo, that making certain assumptions and
3
calculations, I came to the conclusion that more
4
likely than not this person would have an amount of
5
asbestos in their lungs that's above background.
6
Q. All right, sir. The jury has heard
7
about Dr. Longo and his Cancer Research study
8
publication.
9
A. Yes.
10
Q. You're familiar with that study, are you
11
not?
12
A. I am.
13
Q. And you're familiar with the syringe
14
experiment that was the basis for those calculations 15
and that study. Correct?
16
A. Yes.
17
Q. Now, what was it about the syringe
18
experiment that you took to support your conclusion 19
in the '90s that Kent, original Kent, could
20
contribute to cause mesothelioma?
21
A. Well, I assumed that from the experiment
22
was a reasonable approximation of what an individual 23
would get from smoking the cigarette.
24
I then made the assumption about fibers

that would be deposited in the lung, including the
clusters of fibers, that clusters could then break up
into larger numbers of fibers.
Then I made some assumptions about the
percentage of the asbestos that would actually be
deposited in the lungs, and then about how long it
would take to clear those fibers from the lungs.
Q. And all of those assumptions and
conclusions and calculations that you've generally
described, sir, they were all driven by the Longo
study?
MR. MAIMON: Objection, leading. Sorry.
THE COURT: Objection sustained.
Q. Okay. Tell us the basis that you were
using for these calculations that led to your support
of the theory that Kent was a contributing factor in
causing mesothelioma.
A. Yeah. I took the numbers from Dr. Longo
about the release of fibers, the numbers of fibers
that were being released, and then did the
calculations about how much would then be deposited
based on somebody smoking a pack a day, say, for four
years from 1952 to 1956, and about how long it would
take to clear those fibers out of the lungs, and
concluded that more likely than not, you would have
an elevated content of asbestos.
Q. Doctor, do you recall how Dr. Longo
treated bundles of fibers in his study?
A. He counted them as a single structure,
yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And did that inform the opinion
you held in the '90s regarding original Kent as a
causal relationship to mesothelioma?
A. Yes.
Q. How?
A. I considered that the bundles of fibers
then might break up into additional fibers once they
were deposited in the lung tissue, and that that
would result in an even higher burden than -- than
was determined from just counting the structures.
Q. Doctor, did any animal studies factor in
to assist your conclusions back in the '90s that Kent
could be a contributing factor in mesothelioma?
A. Yes.
Q. And in which way, and describe that for
us, please.
A. Yeah, that's talked about in Chapter 10
of my text in experimental animal studies, that
studies had suggested that somewhere between
65 percent and 100 percent of commercial amphibole

fibers, of which crocidolite is one, would be
deposited. That which was breathed in, almost all of
it was deposited in the lungs of the rats. And so I
was using that as part of my calculations.
Q. All right, sir. And was there a
particular study involving mesothelioma in women that
informed your opinion in the '90s that Kent was a
contributing factor to mesothelioma, the original
Kent cigarette?
A. Yeah. We had done a study of malignant
mesothelioma in women published in 1997, so we
completed it by 1996. And that study -- in that
study we had among our 60-something cases -- I think
it was 62 cases we had of mesothelioma in women,
three of them had a history of smoking Kent
cigarettes. So we thought, well, that's high
compared to what the market share of Kent was. So
that disproportionate number suggested there might be
an association. And actually, I believe, as I
recall, in the chapter we said that this -- that this
needs to be further investigated in an
epidemiological study.
Q. All right, sir. So have we discussed
the factors that were in play when you were of the
opinion in the '90s that the original Kent filter

could be a contributing cause to someone's
mesothelioma?
A. Yes.
Q. All right, sir.
Now, did that opinion change, Doctor?
A. Yes.
Q. And when did it change?
A. Well, I wouldn't say it was overnight.
I think there were several things that influenced it.
First of all, prior to my testifying in
that case in 1997, we had done fiber analysis on one
case and found -- in which their only known exposure
was smoking Kent cigarettes, and we found no
crocidolite present in the lungs.
Q. Okay. Let's stop right there.
Is that case one that was -- that
appeared in the published literature?
A. Eventually, yes.
Q. Eventually it did?
A. Yes.
Q. And the jury may have seen that. That's
why I interrupted you. But let's break that down a
little bit.
Did you perform a fiber burden analysis
on the lung tissue of the woman who was the subject

of that case where it was claimed that her only known
exposure to asbestos was to a Kent cigarette
between '52 and '56?
A. I did in one case, but that was not the
case that I was testifying in. The case I was
testifying in did not have a fiber analysis done.
Q. Yes, sir. That was my fault. The
question I asked was incorrect.
Did you do a fiber burden analysis on a
woman who claimed that her only known asbestos
exposure was to a Kent cigarette?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And, again, tell us what the fiber
burden process -- what is it that you physically are
doing when you perform a fiber burden?
A. Yes, it's dissolving the lung tissue
away, and then looking with the light microscope and
the electron microscope to determine the amount and
type of any asbestos present.
Q. Okay. So how do you get the lung tissue
to -- to work it to end up putting the particles
under a microscope? How do you get it?
A. Well, there's several ways. One is if
the patient has a surgical procedure where they
remove part of the lung, or in some cases the whole
lung. For some lung cancers and some mesothelioma,
they'll take out the whole lung as part of the
treatment. And then we have the lung tissue which we
can study in that circumstance.
And then the other way is if a patient
dies and an autopsy is done, then we can take the
tissue from the autopsy and perform the procedure
looking for the asbestos.
Q. And who determines whether somebody
after death is going to have a section of the lung
tissue taken so that a fiber burden analysis can be
conducted?
MR. MAIMON: Objection.
THE COURT: Sustained. Rephrase.
Q. Well, you're familiar with the medical
records of Mr. Argento, are you not?
A. I am.
Q. Was a fiber burden analysis conducted on
the lung tissue of Mr. Argento?
A. No.
Q. Could it have been done?
A. Sure.
Q. Are you aware of why it wasn't?
MR. MAIMON: Objection.
A. No.

MR. CEDILLO: When he says objection,
don't answer.
THE COURT: I understood the delay over
here. The objection is overruled and he answered.
Q. He did. Either way. All right.
So the tissue is sent to your
laboratory, and then you conduct a fiber burden
analysis. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. And you did that for a woman who claimed
that -- or it was claimed that her only known
exposure was to Kent cigarettes. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, you're familiar with the specific
type of asbestos that was the filtering agent in the
filter from '52 to '56. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And what was that, sir?
A. Crocidolite.
Q. Okay. And when you did the fiber burden
analysis, you broke down the tissue and you put
the -- the mineral particles under your microscope,
what kind of asbestos did you find, if any?
A. Amosite.

Q. Did you find any crocidolite,
whatsoever?
A. No.
Q. Okay. Did this experiment have any
impact on the opinion that you formed about whether
or not Kent really could be a contributing factor in
causing mesothelioma?
A. To a degree. It did not contribute to
the cases in which the only known exposure was to
Kent because that woman had another known exposure
that accounted for the amosite.
Q. All right, sir.
Now, so you conducted that particular
fiber burden. Have you had occasion to conduct other
fiber burdens on persons who claimed that a Kent
cigarette was their source of asbestos exposure?
A. Yes.
Q. How many times, sir?
A. Since that case I testified in in 1997,
I mentioned I had already done one. I have done
three additional cases.
Q. All right. And what were your results
in the three additional cases of fiber burden
analysis on people who claimed that their exposure to
asbestos came through an original Kent filter?

A. In all four cases in which the only
known or claimed exposure was through Kent
cigarettes, we did not find any crocidolite in the
tissues.
Q. And what did -- did that inform your
opinion to the point where you started rethinking
your conclusions from the 1990s?
A. Yes.
Q. How, sir?
A. Well, I mean, as a pathologist, as
somebody who studied asbestos-related diseases for a
lifetime, then I believed, and continue to believe,
that what you find in the lung is most informative
about the causation of disease. And so -- and our
criteria for causation means if you find an amount of
asbestos in a lung tissue that's different, elevated
above what you expect to find in my lung or your
lung, then we consider that to be causative of -- of
asbestos-related mesothelioma.
If we don't, then I don't believe you can
say that asbestos was a contributing factor in those
cases.
Q. Now, Doctor, when you are performing
these fiber burdens, what period of time did that
span, these fiber burdens on the four Kent smokers?
A. The first one was mid-1990s, and I think
the last one was done by the early 2000s.
Q. Okay. Did anybody at Lorillard Tobacco
Company know that you were doing these fiber burden
analyses? Did they have any input with you, or
direction, or were you reporting to anyone at
Lorillard when you were doing these fiber burden
analyses?
MR. MAIMON: Objection.
THE COURT: Overruled.
A. Not Lorillard, no.
Q. Okay. Now, when you did these fiber
burden analyses, what kind of equipment did you use,
your microscopes, and so forth? Is it possible that
you weren't using the right equipment to be able to
detect what was there?
A. I don't think so. The microscope that I
use today was -- was purchased by the Durham VA
Medical Center in 1992. So I've been using that for
the last 24 years. That microscope was moved over to
Duke when I retired from the VA and became full-time
at Duke in March of 2007. And we had published
studies about our findings of -- of crocidolite
asbestos, and we found a number of cases with
crocidolite in their lung tissues in elevated amounts

in that period since 1992.
Q. And I mean, as far as the equipment that
you're using, sir, is it outdated? I mean, do you
still have a carburetor on it where there's others
that have fuel injection to them? Or I mean, is
there any criticism that maybe you just don't have
the right equipment to be able to pick up what's
there?
A. No. I mean, the size of fibers that we
are interested in has not changed since I started
doing this with the electron microscope out at
Research Triangle Park in 1981. And we switched over
to a different microscope, also the same type,
scanning electron microscope, as I mentioned, in
1992. And I still use the same procedures during
that time. The microscope annually undergoes
maintenance procedures, routine maintenance, where
they come in and make sure it's operating like a new
one. And so I don't think that's an issue.
Q. All right, sir.
Now, these Kent smoker fiber burden
analyses that you've just described, did you publish
in the medical or scientific literature on -- on
these studies that you conducted, sir?
A. Yes.

Q. And where would we find that in the
literature?
A. Well, we published it twice, actually.
The first time was -- it was sort of an afterthought,
a mention in the 2002 study we did of the
1,445 cases. We mentioned in there that we had
analyzed four cases whose only known exposure was to
Kent cigarettes, and had not found any crocidolite in
the lungs. That was like a paragraph in the
discussion.
Then in 2009, we actually wrote a paper
on crocidolite and mesothelioma. And we -- we
reported our -- our results and observations that
we'd made about crocidolite and mesothelioma, and
again repeated that we analyzed four cases whose only
known exposure was through Kent cigarettes and did
not find increased crocidolite in any of those cases.
Q. All right. So to summarize this
section, sir. Did your fiber burden analyses on
smokers who claim their asbestos exposure through the
original Kent cigarette, how did that impact your
current opinion on whether or not the original Kent
cigarette could contribute to cause mesothelioma?
A. Well, as I mentioned, the last time I
testified for a plaintiff in a Kent case, I had done

one analysis on a patient whose only known exposure
was to Kent. And the subsequent three cases where we
still did not find any crocidolite cast a
considerable doubt on whether or not smoking Kent
could result in enough exposure to cause an
individual to get mesothelioma.
So that was -- that was -- that was an
important consideration in my change of opinion.
Q. All right, sir.
Now, let's talk about Dr. Longo. What
was it about your further review of Dr. Longo that
caused a change in the opinion from the one you held
in the 1990s?
MR. MAIMON: Objection.
THE COURT: Sidebar.
(At sidebar.)
MR. MAIMON: I'm going to object, your
Honor, to the extent this is an invitation to the
witness to talk about the unpublished studies which
has been -- that's the subject of the Court's
rulings. I have reviewed some of the witness' prior
testimony about this, and he has certain criticisms
and comments about what's been found in unpublished
data.
MR. CEDILLO: I see the concern, your
Honor.
THE COURT: So far you've stuck to the
published study.
MR. MAIMON: The way the question is
phrased is my concern.
MR. CEDILLO: I will represent to you
that I have instructed him on the Court's rulings,
and that doesn't mean I'm not going to try again and
maybe have a proffer or whatever, but I can ask a
more specific question that will make sure that he
doesn't volunteer anything.
MR. MAIMON: Sure.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: Because I'm aware of the
Court's ruling, and I wasn't trying to back-door it.
MR. MAIMON: I didn't think Mr. Cedillo
was trying to back-door it. I was just concerned
that the witness, in responding to such an open-ended
question, would volunteer those things.
MR. DEFEO: Maybe there's two front
doors.
MR. CEDILLO: I'll tie it down, your
Honor.
THE COURT: Okay.

MR. CEDILLO: May I proceed, your Honor?
THE COURT: Certainly.
Q. Dr. Roggli, I want to break up my
questions to you on Dr. Longo into the methodology
employed, and then the calculations that he employed
and your reassessment of those calculations that
you've already testified about very generally. Okay?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. So let's start with the methodology.
Did you form a subsequent opinion regarding
Dr. Longo's methodology in the study that you
conducted? And I want you to be within four corners
of the study that came out in Cancer Research. Okay?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. All right, sir. Did you reassess his
methodology?
A. Yes.
Q. And what -- what did that entail, sir?
A. Well, initially, it was after the last
trial that I testified in for a plaintiff in Kent
cigarettes. The cross-examination made me realize
that my assumption that using the syringe test on
40-year-old Kent cigarettes, that that was similar to
smoking cigarettes, is probably not a good one. And
I had not really, I guess, known that, or thought

that through enough at the time of that trial in
1997. I mean, there was subsequent information that
I got probably around 2001 that led me to realize
there were other problems in Dr. Longo's analysis
that -Q. Well, Doctor, let me ask you to stick
with the syringe analysis and the methodology -- I'll
call that the methodology.
A. Yeah.
Q. Let's stay with that and go just real
tight on Q and A in this area. Okay?
A. Sure.
Q. What was it that you gained an awareness
that had to do with the syringe and -- and the method
that he used in conducting the study that led to the
publication of the Cancer Research article?
A. Well, just the questions that I was
asked on cross-examination made me realize that the
method that was similar to smoking was not a good
one. That left me with considerable doubts about
using the syringe method.
And then some other things he did with
the methodology was the indirect method of analyzing
a filter, which I didn't know at the time of that
case, but I did subsequently learn, I think around

2001, from Berman and Crump's study for the
Environmental Protection Agency, that that procedure
has the ability to increase the fibers that you're
detecting by one or two orders of magnitude. That's
a factor of 10 to 100.
Q. All right.
A. And then the other thing that I came to
subsequently realize is that his counting of the
clusters that were part of his methodology, instead
of that resulting in even more fibers in the lung,
probably would result in less in the lung because it
was the realization from -- again from the Berman and
Crump analysis, that these clusters have a diameter
so large that they're not going to be deposited in
the lower respiratory tract if they get there.
Q. Let's break that down then. I heard
three general categories in the reanalysis that you
did on the methodology.
The first one has to do with the
assumption that the syringe experiment simulated the
smoking -- the act of smoking a cigarette. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And what conclusions did you reach upon
further study about that assumption?
A. It probably was not a good assumption.
It probably was not a realistic comparison.
Q. And why would that be, sir?
MR. MAIMON: Objection.
THE COURT: Overruled.
A. I think it has to do with the physics of
pulling the syringe down to draw air through it is
not the same as -- as the individual puffing a
cigarette. The way that you had to -- my
understanding from his methodology, to -- to push the
filter down so that it would fit into the syringe had
the potential for damaging the filter and releasing
things that otherwise would not have been released.
And also the fact that the cigarettes were not off
the shelf as they were smoked, but they were 40 years
old.
Q. In 1995 they were 40 years old.
A. Correct.
Q. All right, sir.
Now, the second category I heard was the
methodology he used to do the counting.
A. Yes.
Q. You talked about it as a direct
method -- indirect method.
A. Yes.
Q. And I assume there's a direct method.

Tell us a little bit about that. What's the
difference?
A. Well, this is the methodology that the
EPA has established for looking at water samples or
air samples to see about the amount of asbestos. And
a direct method is one where you had the air go
through the filter, or the water go through the
filter, and then you take that filter and you look at
it directly under an electron microscope and count
the fibers.
The indirect method is you use the
filter the same way, but now you take that filter,
you dissolve it in material. You resuspend the
particles that were on the filter, and put that on a
new filter, and then look at that under an electron
microscope. And it sounds like, well, what's the
difference. But the EPA determined, oh, that can
increase the number of fibers that you see because
the process of extracting them from -- from the
original filter can break them up into smaller fibers
and into more fibers so that you've greatly increased
the numbers. It can cause clusters to break up, for
example. So that was -- that was a problem that I
learned about subsequently.
Q. All right, sir.

So we've talked about the method of
counting using the indirect method led you to
reassess the earlier opinion that you had then.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. All right, sir. And then I think the
third one that I've heard had to do with how he
treated the presence of bundles. What were you doing
with the bundle part of his testing when, in the
'90s, you were testifying that Kent could lead to
cause mesothelioma?
A. Well, I was assuming that those would be
deposited in the lung, and then -- in the lung and
the lung environment where the fluids that were
present there could then break up into smaller
fibers, and those could be distributed in the lung
and actually increase the exposure.
Q. All right. That's what you thought in
the '90s?
A. Yes.
Q. And then what happened to make you
think -- or rethink that position?
A. Well, then I was reading the Berman and
Crump's analysis and realized -- it was almost a
"duh" moment. Why hadn't I thought of that before?
Those structures would be too large to even be

deposited in the lower respiratory tract.
Q. I'm sorry. I didn't hear the
pronunciation. It's my ears, it's not your
pronunciation. You're referring to a published
article by two authors?
A. Yes.
Q. What -A. No, that was -- they subsequently
published their work in 2008.
Q. I see.
A. But what they did around 2001 is that
they put together an analysis for the Environmental
Protection Agency, and that became available to
anybody that wanted to look at it.
Q. And what was the name of that analysis,
sir?
A. I don't recall the title of it, but it
was looking at fiber indices, is what they eventually
published about.
Q. And who were the authors again, please?
A. Wayne Berman and Crump, Kenny Crump.
Q. Berman and Crump?
A. Yes.
Q. And to your knowledge, did Berman and
Crump, were they doing this for a group of
defendants, for Lorillard, or for anybody?
A. No, I think they were independent.
Q. And was that in the medical and
scientific literature?
A. Eventually they published their findings
in 2008 in the scientific literature.
Q. And you took the work that they were
doing there, and how did that inform your new opinion
then, sir?
A. Well, one was that -- that the use of
the indirect methodology will increase the fiber
count. And the other that those clusters that had
been counted probably never would get into the lung
in the first place.
Q. Why would they not get into the lung in
the first place, sir, the clusters?
A. Well, there is a size of particles in
general that can be deposited in the lower
respiratory tract. That is, the lung where your gas
exchange takes place, where the alveoli are. And
that's usually -- 5 microns is the -- is the typical
size. That, and fibers and structures below that.
For mineral fibers, they tend to line up
along the direction of air flow, so their diameter is
the most important factor. And so an individual

fiber can be 20, 30, even 100 microns long. If it's
thin enough, it lines up like a straw in the air and
just goes right down deep into the lung. If you've
got a cluster of them like a ball, and it's more than
5 microns across, then it's either going to be
deposited in the nose, in the hairs in the nose in
the upper respiratory tract, or it will impact high
up in the airways, the windpipe and the bronchi.
Q. All right, sir.
And this -- this work by these two
individuals assisted you in reassessing your opinion
about the Kent filter that you had in the mid-'90s?
A. Yes.
Q. All right, sir.
Now, we've been talking about
Dr. Longo's testing and his methodology. Did you
come to any new awareness or conclusions regarding
the calculations?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Let's talk about that.
What was it about his calculations that
you began to question?
A. It's actually the calculations that I
did based on what his fiber counts were. And two
things that had changed is my assumption about the

amount that's deposited in the lower respiratory

the lungs. And the first one in that regard, the
deposition, I assumed that the studies in the rats
that 65 to 100 percent of the respirable fraction of
the fibers get deposited in the lower respiratory
tract.
But Berman and Crump said, ah, not so
with humans. It's about 20 percent, or one-fifth as
much of what the rats get. I don't know why.
Physiologically there's a difference.
So that assumption that essentially
100 percent of the fibers get deposited in the lower
respiratory tract was wrong.
Secondly, Berman and Crump pointed out
two components of clearance. There's a rapid
component that gets rid of a certain percentage of
fibers, and then a much slower component. And so I
was taking into account the slower component of
clearance, which is 10 to 20 years, which means,
let's say you breathed in a thousand fibers, then 10
to 20 years later, if that's your half-life, you
would have half as many, you would have 500 fibers
still in the lung. So that's what I was assuming.
But that was incorrect because there's a rapid

component which gets rid of a fraction of the fibers
before you get to that long, slow clearance
component.
Q. All right. If I -- I'm going to attempt
to summarize what you're talking about in terms of
calculations. And the way that I can process it is
that there was an overestimation of what ends up in
your lung in terms of fiber count, and -- and an
underestimation, or undercounting of what gets
cleared. Have I got that more or less accurate
there?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. So in the under -- in the
overestimation, you did further research and reached
the conclusion that Dr. Longo's numbers were doing
what in terms of its calculation?
MR. MAIMON: Objection.
THE COURT: Sidebar.
(At sidebar.)
MR. MAIMON: My objection, your Honor,
is the witness has already clarified that it wasn't
Dr. Longo's calculation. It was his calculations
based on Dr. Longo's numbers. And, therefore, the
question keeps perpetuating a miscomprehension or
misleading of the jury that it's somehow Dr. Longo's
calculations that changed, which the witness has
already clarified it. So the question as phrased is
improper.
MR. CEDILLO: I'll -- I can always reask
and be clear, your Honor.
THE COURT: Just to be clear, this
witness did testify with regard to calculations, his
calculations.
MR. CEDILLO: Right. But I want to be
clear, your Honor. Longo had calculations, and then
he put them to the test with new knowledge and
reached the conclusion that his calculations
overestimated deposition rate and underestimated
clearance. That's what he's already said.
MR. MAIMON: No, that's not what he
said. Longo had data, had numbers, and then he made
calculations which he says both overestimated
deposition rates and underestimated clearance. It
wasn't Longo's calculations.
THE COURT: That's how I understood his
response.
MR. CEDILLO: I'll rephrase.
THE COURT: Yes.
(End of sidebar.)
THE COURT: Please rephrase.

Q. Dr. Roggli, in the Cancer Research
article, Dr. Longo presented certain calculations
regarding the release of the fibers based on the
methodology he employed to test those 40-year-old
cigarettes. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. All right, sir. What did you do to
determine any change of your opinion based on
Dr. Longo's calculation?
A. Well, I think there's several things
that I think about that.
First, as I mentioned, after that last
trial I testified in, my assumption that this was
representative of the way to smoke cigarettes was
probably not a good one.
Secondly, even if you did assume that
this is similar to the smoking, then it's going to
reduce significantly the amount of fibers that are
going to end up in the lung by -- by, number one,
considering the methodology being the indirect method
technique; number two, counting the clusters in; and
number three, my overestimation of deposition; and
five -- and four, my underestimation of clearance.
So those are all directions of reducing
the amount that was in the lungs. And so my

conclusion was, once I had done the new calculations, 1
that this is not going to be a significant level.
2
Q. All right. And when you say your
3
overestimation of deposition, you're not talking
4
about questions and answers that are asked of a
5
witness outside the courtroom and we show a video. 6
What do you mean by "deposition"?
7
A. Oh, yes, I'm sorry. Yes. It just means
8
deposited in the lung tissues.
9
Q. We've got some budding law students
10
after all these weeks in trial. I want to make sure
11
we're on the same track.
12
A. Yes, sir.
13
Q. All right. And the conclusions you
14
reached back in the '90s using the methodology and 15
the conclusions of Dr. Longo, when you put the new 16
data to perform calculations, taking into account
17
these things you've talked about, what was your
18
result?
19
A. It was below what we considered to be an 20
elevated amount of crocidolite in the lung tissue
21
concentrations. And -- and, of course, it was my
22
opinion that what calculations I did from Dr. Longo 23
weren't really relevant because we weren't finding
24
elevated crocidolite when we actually looked in the 25

lung tissues.
Q. All right. And that's covered in the
first reason we talked about?
A. Yeah.
Q. All right. Now, that's on the
calculation that resulted in the overestimation.
Let's talk about the underestimation of
the clearance amount, and what you're talking about,
half-life and all that. Let's break that down -A. Sure.
Q. -- in layman's terms so that I can get
it. Okay?
What was involved in this calculation
you performed to conclude that there is an
undercounting or an underestimation of what gets
cleared by the human body?
A. Yeah, I believe that that was assuming
that the half-life of clearance would be 10 to
20 years. And so that if I made a calculation about
this is the amount of asbestos that would have been
deposited, and the person last smoked Kent cigarettes
in 1956, and we're looking at him in 1996, 40 years
later, how much crocidolite would you expect to find
in the lungs. And that would be -- if you consider
the half-life to be ten years, that would be four
half-lives later. If you considered 20 years, that
would be two half-lives later.
Q. And assuming a latency period of
mesothelioma of 30 to 40 years, is that a reasonable
assumption, sir?
A. Yes.
Q. And if -- if the half-life is clearing
every ten years or so, what is the effect of a fiber
that ends up being cleared in relation to causation
of disease, Doctor?
A. Well, most of the clearance
takes -- well, clearance goes into several different
compartments. One of the compartments that it goes
to, it is removed from the lungs, it goes to the
lymphatics and goes to the lymph nodes.
Another place that it goes to would be
the pleura. And another place it goes to would be
removed from the lungs entirely, and that's probably
where the fast clearance component is involved where
the fibers that were breathed in land on the surface
of the airways that are covered with this mucus
blanket. And what we have in the lining of the
airways are cells that have hairs on the surface
called cilia, which beat rhythmically in a direction
which is removing the mucus upwards and outwards from

the lung. So that fast clearance compartment relates
to the fraction of the fibers that land on the mucus
blanket and then get removed from the lungs by that
normal clearance mechanism.
Q. And in your under -- in your conclusion
regarding underestimation, you had focused previously
on the ten-year half-life going forward and not
adequately addressed the rapid clearance process?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. What led you to consider the rapid
removal process before you reached the conclusion of
just what the deposit may have been?
A. I think I realized that that was an
error, again, in reading the Berman and Crump
analysis in 2001 they talked about reminded me of the
two compartments of clearance.
Q. And, Dr. Roggli, if a fiber gets removed
either through the rapid clearance or the half-life
clearance, does that fiber contribute to cause
disease?
A. No.
Q. And so that is another reason why
you -- you changed your position on whether or not
Kent, an original Kent filtered cigarette could
contribute to causing mesothelioma, Doctor?

A.
Q.
Yes.
All right, sir.
And then on the issue regarding bundles.
I think you told us that back in the '90s you thought
that a bundle would get into the lung tissue, and
then once there, it would break up so that what was a
bundle is now a whole bunch of individual fibers. At
least that's the way I heard it. Am I anywhere near
the ballpark?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And what was it that made
you -- did you change your opinion about that?
A. That, again, was in the Berman and Crump
analysis in 2001 that many clusters would have
diameters too large.
Q. Was that sort of the aerodynamics of the
fiber?
A. Yeah. The cluster has different
aerodynamic features than a fiber. And one of the
things I talk about is that the -- an individual
fiber tends to line up with the direction of air
flow. And so just like an arrow, we can penetrate
deep into the lungs. But a cluster is more irregular
so it's going to bounce around and move around and
not behave the same way a fiber would

aerodynamically.
Additionally, you've got tars and resins
attached to the clusters, and actually to the
individual fibers, that might alter their
aerodynamics and keep them from penetrating deep into
the lung.
Just to give you an example, you can
think about an arrow that has the three feathers on
it and that makes it go in a straight line. If you
take one of those feathers out -- I don't know if you
ever did that, but I did as a kid -- take one of the
feathers off the arrow and shoot it. Now it's going
to go in a crazy motion because it's not
aerodynamically stable. And the same thing would
happen if you have a fiber that has a significant
amount of tar or particulate material attached to it.
It would then move erratically and would more likely
impact the wall of the bronchus before it got deep
into the lung.
Q. And Dr. Roggli, in your field, sir, as a
doctor, as a scientist, as a researcher, what does it
mean to follow the science?
A. Well, I think it means that if the
information that's published in scientific
literature, or that from your own personal scientific
observations changes, then -- then your opinions
about a certain theory has to change. And that's the
very nature of science. We test hypotheses, and if
we find out that the science doesn't support it, then
we reject it.
Q. And did you follow the science, sir, in
the change of your opinion regarding the original
Kent filter and this research?
A. I believed that I was following the
science when I testified for the plaintiffs in 1997;
and subsequently I realized there were a lot of
assumptions that I made that I think are incorrect.
And then when I added to that the findings of
analysis of the lung tissue samples and not seeing
crocidolite, that it probably was incorrect.
Q. And, Doctor, have you published in the
scientific and medical literature about your
assessments regarding the Longo study that led you to
change your opinion?
A. Yes.
Q. When did you publish that, sir?
A. Yeah, I didn't go into great detail
about the Longo study, but in the 2009 article on
"Crocidolite and Mesothelioma," we quoted the 1995
Longo study as being one that indicated that

crocidolite could be released from smoking Kent
cigarettes, and then pointed out that -- that our
analysis of lung tissue samples of people whose only
known exposure was to smoking -- or only known
exposure was through Kent cigarettes did not support
that.
Q. Do you have Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 6 up
there, sir?
A. I don't see it. What is it?
Q. It's -- I believe it's a 2008 article.
A. No, I don't have it.
Q. PX-006. It was only marked for
identification, I believe during Dr. Moline. Let me
show it to you.
Is that the -- well, this is the Cancer
Research article. Correct?
A. Yeah, this is Dr. Longo's original 1995
article.
Q. All right. I thought I had the 2008
article which you just referenced.
MR. BERGER: It hasn't been marked yet.
MR. CEDILLO: It has not been marked
yet. Okay. I apologize, your Honor.

Lorillard Tobacco Company Exhibit 11, marked for
identification as 11. Can you tell us what this is,
sir?
A. Yeah, this is the article we published
in Ultrastructural Pathology in 2008 called
"Crocidolite and Mesothelioma" which I was referring
to.
Q. And you're one of the authors here, sir?
A. Yes, I am the senior author, the third
author.
Q. And this is where you pointed out your
criticism of Dr. Longo's Cancer Research study?
MR. MAIMON: Objection.
THE COURT: Overruled.
A. Yes.
Q. How does this treat -- or what reference
do you make regarding Dr. Longo in Lorillard
Exhibit 11, sir?
A. Well, since we were -- since we were
studying crocidolite and mesothelioma, and since the
Kent cigarette issue had come up a number of times,
that's one possible source of crocidolite we were
finding. So we addressed that and pointed out that
one source of possible crocidolite exposure with
crocidolite-containing filters of Kent Micronite

cigarettes produced in the 1950s, and we cite the

Longo article. And then we pointed out, "During the 2
four years these filter cigarettes were on the
3
market, of the 15 patients with crocidolite as the
4
only commercial amphibole fiber, only three had a
5
documented history of smoking and were of sufficient 6
age for exposure during the relevant years. All the
7
others were either lifetime nonsmokers or 13 years of 8
age or younger. In the past, though, we have not
9
identified crocidolite fibers in lung tissue samples
10
from four individuals who described exposure to
11
crocidolite from Micronite filter cigarettes."
12
MR. MAIMON: Can we approach?
13
THE COURT: Yes, sidebar.
14
(At sidebar.)
15
MR. MAIMON: I'm going to ask for an
16
instruction to the jury, your Honor. Mr. Cedillo
17
asked a leading question: "This is the article where 18
you voice your criticisms of Dr. Longo." There's not 19
a single criticism of Dr. Longo, not only in the
20
section that he read, but in the entire article. And
21
yet he's representing to this jury, and Dr. Roggli
22
answered yes, not only to this cite. No. 26 is a
23
citation to -- to Longo, but there's not a single
24
criticism in here. It's improper.
25
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, he can argue
that and he can cross him all he wants. The paper
says, here's what Longo said about it, and then he
says, I've done all these studies and haven't found
anything. That's a criticism.
THE COURT: He's already testified to
it. He's read it and it is a criticism. If you
don't consider it a criticism, you can cross-examine
him. The Court considers it a criticism and finds it
is an appropriate question.
Thank you.
(End of sidebar.)
Q. And, sir, that was in 2008. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Did anyone at Lorillard Tobacco Company
know about your work in 2008 leading to what you
published at that time, sir?
MR. MAIMON: Objection. How does this
witness -THE COURT: Rephrase, please.
Q. Did Lorillard ever approach you and ask
you to write this, or did you ever make them aware
that you were doing this work that led to this
publication, sir? That's my question.
A. No, they never approached me. And if we
Page 4930
were working on this crocidolite/mesothelioma article
at a time that a case was active, I may have
mentioned it to them. I have no recollection.
Q. All right, sir.
Now, this has all been part of the
subject area of your involvement in asbestos-related
litigation, Doctor. That was the topic that
introduced all of these subtopics we've been
discussing. Let's wrap up that part of it by my
asking you whether you were compensated for the work
that you do in asbestos-related litigation.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And what is your rate of compensation?
A. For testifying in court it's $600 an
hour, with a 36-hour -- with a 24-hour cap of $3,600.
Q. Okay. And so you never -- $600 an hour,
and you said 3,600 cap?
A. For 24 hours, yes.
Q. So what you're doing is you're getting
paid $600 for six hours, six times six is 36.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. All right. So your travel time, your
being here, reviewing, being in court, traveling back
and forth, if that takes you 24 hours portal to
portal, you only charge for six.

hope to cover quickly with you. I would like to talk
to you about fiber size for a moment. Okay?
A. Sure.
Q. And we'll come back to Dr. Longo, but
we're going to save the best for last. Okay?
A. Sure.
Q. On fiber size. What needs to happen for
asbestos fibers to contribute to cause mesothelioma,
Doctor?
A. Well, the fibers have to be deposited in

the lower respiratory tract. They have to migrate to
1
the pleura, and they have to stay there, I believe,
2
for long periods of time.
3
Q. And do they need to be a certain size
4
and shape to do this migration?
5
A. Yes.
6
Q. Okay. And what is that generally, if
7
you know?
8
A. The fibers that are pathogenic, able to
9
cause disease, are the ones that are more than
10
5 microns, and the Berman and Crump study show it's 11
probably ones over 10 microns in length that cause
12
disease. So that length is an important factor in
13
disease causation. The main important thing about
14
diameter is that the fiber is thin enough that it can
15
penetrate deep into the lungs. For example, you
16
could have a fiber that's 50 microns long, but if
17
it's 5 microns in diameter, it won't get deep into
18
the lungs.
19
Q. You're going to cough it up, spit it
20
out, do something with it.
21
A. Correct.
22
Q. All right, sir. So in asbestos
23
exposure, not every fiber that you're exposed to gets 24
actually inhaled, does it, sir?
25
A. Correct.
Q. And we talked about this clearance, so
that if it does get in, it doesn't mean it stays in
the lung, does it, sir?
A. That's correct.
Q. And you've talked about the certain ways
that the body has to protect itself from asbestos
fibers getting into the lung. What are macrophages,
sir?
A. Macrophage is what I call the Pac-Man
cell of the lung, or the garbage collector of the
lung. Its job is anything that's a foreign material
that lands on the lung surface where those delicate
alveoli are that are involved in gas exchange,
whether it's a bacteria, a virus, a coal particle,
coal dust particle, or an asbestos fiber, a
macrophage's job is to react to that and try to eat
it and digest it. Some things it's very good at
eating and digesting, some things not so good at
doing it.
Q. What does it do with it after it's eaten
and digested? Where does it go?
A. Well, the macrophage can stay right
there in the lung at that spot, and it has contained
the particle. The particle is not going anywhere.
Page 4934
The macrophage can die and release the particles, and
then another macrophage would come to get the
particles again.
Or the macrophage can get into the
lymphatics and actually make its way into the lymph
nodes. Or it can get on what we call the mucociliary
escalator, the blanket of mucus that's lining your
bronchial tubes, and can ride upwards and outwards
from the lung and then be coughed up.
Q. All right, sir. And we talk about the
aerodynamic diameter that we discussed already.
And you mentioned this a little bit.
But if a fiber ends up being coated with something
like tar, how would that affect the aerodynamic
diameter of that fiber?
A. Yeah, it can -- actually, the effect is
the diameter would be increased, because instead of
lining it up along the air flow and penetrating deep,
then it moves more erratically and will tend to
impact higher up in the respiratory tract.
Q. All right.
Dr. Roggli, this jury has heard about
the different types of asbestos. I sometimes have
called it the different flavors that it comes in.
You're familiar with the different fiber types that

make up asbestos. Correct, sir?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Now, my question to you is, can all
asbestos fibers, asbestos fiber types, can they all
cause mesothelioma in humans, Doctor?
A. Yeah, the ones that are used
commercially, certainly amosite and crocidolite can
cause disease. For chrysotile, it's not clear
whether it's the chrysotile, itself, or its
contaminant, another type of asbestos contaminant
that can cause the disease. But chrysotile dust from
Canada in sufficient doses can cause mesothelioma,
yes.
Q. Okay. Is there any type of asbestos
that is known not to cause mesothelioma in people,
sir?
A. That's a good question. I'm not aware
of one, though.
Q. Okay. In your lab, sir, do you have a
group of what you call control patients for your
mesothelioma studies?
A. Yes.
Q. And why do you have control patients?
A. Well, as I mentioned earlier, everybody
has some amount of asbestos in their lung, so it's

not sufficient just to do an analysis and say, hey,
there's asbestos present. You have to quantify the
amount and then compare it to a population that has
no known exposure to asbestos and no evidence of any
asbestos-related disease. And that's our control
group.
Q. All right, sir. And what's the purpose
of having the control group?
A. To compare your cases with to see if
they have an elevated or increased amount of asbestos
in their lungs.
Q. Now, the jury has heard, and I think
you've mentioned the term "amphibole asbestos."
A. Yes, sir.
Q. What are we talking about there?
A. Yeah, I think there's fine minerals that
are a member of the amphibole group. The ones used
to any extent in this country were amosite and
crocidolite. And then there's three noncommercial
amphiboles, and those are tremolite, actinolite, and
anthophyllite.
Q. And what's the most common amphibole
asbestos fiber type that you found in lung tissue
from the control patients in your lab, the ones that
don't have meso?
A. Tremolite is the most common fiber type
that we find in our control group.
Q. Now, we talked a little bit earlier
about the 1,445 cases from your lab that went into
your publication, sir. I'm calling that the 1,445
case study. Okay?
A. Yes.
Q. Does this article on the 1,445 cases,
does it state which asbestos fiber type was most
commonly found in people with mesothelioma?
A. Yes.
Q. And what was that, sir?
A. Yes, we found that -- our finding from
1993 that amosite was the main type of asbestos that
I was worried about being that we found it because we
had so many insulators and shipyard workers in that
regional study. But now when we have 268 cases of
the 1,445 where we actually had done fiber analysis
on them, that amosite was still the predominant fiber
type across all the occupations that we studied.
(LTC-12, Marked for Identification.)
Q. Doctor, let me hand you Lorillard
Tobacco Company Exhibit 12 that I ask that you
identify, please.
A. Yes, this is a copy of our studies

published in Ultrastructural Pathology in 2002 called
"Malignant Mesothelioma and Occupational Exposure to
Asbestos: A Clinicopathological Correlation of
1,445 Cases."
Q. And in there we would find, for example,
your conclusion about amosite being the most common?
A. I believe so, in the discussion, yes.
Q. And this is -- this is now, what, about
ten years old or so?
A. It was 2002, so it's 14 years old.
Q. Fourteen years old. Has amosite
continued to predominate in the results of your lung
fiber burden analyses, sir?
A. Yes.
Q. What's been your experience with finding
crocidolite?
A. We found that it's increasing in the
number -- in the percentage of cases that have it.
In other words, crocidolite was found two to three
times as often in the second half of the study as in
the first half of the cases that we looked at and
examined. It didn't matter which disease you were
looking at, it was true for all of the disease we
studied, lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
Q. And, Doctor, is that strange or unusual

that you would be finding an increase in crocidolite? 1
A. Yeah. And let me clarify. The
2
crocidolite level was not necessarily increased,
3
itself, concentration, but we were finding it in more
4
patients. So it was two to three times as many
5
patients in each category that we were finding
6
crocidolite as before.
7
And, no, when we did that analysis, we
8
were -- I was aware that crocidolite was used in
9
asbestos cement pipe in this country up until the
10
mid-1990s; whereas, amosite was forbidden to be put 11
in new insulation products that were sold after 1972. 12
Q. Doctor, in the exhibit that we marked,
13
the "Crocidolite and Mesothelioma," it's Lorillard
14
11, that we talked about earlier.
15
A. Yes.
16
Q. You published on the crocidolite
17
increasingly being identified in asbestos-related
18
mesotheliomas in your lab, do you not, sir?
19
A. Yes. We actually published an article
20
before that which goes into detail called "25 Years
21
of Fiber Analysis, What Have We Learned." And that 22
was the first time we made the observation that, hey, 23
we're seeing crocidolite more often in these days
24
than we did earlier.

Q. And when you find crocidolite in lung
tissue that you examined, and these fiber burdens
that you talked to us about, sir, does it appear by
itself, alone?
A. Well, the interesting thing we found in
this study which is Exhibit 11 is that crocidolite
most often correlated with finding amosite in the
tissues. In fact, it was a very statistically
significant correlation between finding amosite and
finding crocidolite in the tissues.
Q. And do you have an explanation, sir, for
that correlation between amosite and crocidolite?
A. Yes.
Q. What is that, sir?
A. Two basic explanations is that Dr. Chris
Wagner had published decades ago, when asbestos was
being shipped from South Africa, if somebody ordered
amosite, for example, to be put in insulation
products, if crocidolite was what they had available,
that's what they would ship. It got mixed up.
People didn't care so much back in those days what
type of fiber type it was.
The other was there were some insulation
products that went on buildings, for skyscrapers.
There was a spray stuff called Limpet spray that was
sprayed on the girders of the high-rise buildings,
and that contained both amosite and crocidolite, and
that was a source of insulation products that had
both in it.
Q. And these studies that you published on,
you have done the fiber burden analysis for -- to
support the findings and the conclusions that you
publish on. Is that correct, sir?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And are fiber burdens done to determine
the cumulative exposure that you might find in a
person whose lung tissue you're studying?
A. They are.
Q. And what would you consider, Doctor, the
most objective evidence of past significant exposures
to asbestos?
A. Finding an elevated level of the fiber
type in the lung tissue samples.
Q. By conducting the burden analysis.
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. And how long have lung tissue
fiber burden studies been done, Doctor?
A. The people who were really the pioneers
of this work were publishing their initial studies in
the early '70s, 1970s.

Q. And, Doctor, what are pathology reports?
A. Well, a pathology report would be an
analysis by a pathologist of the individual case
where they are describing the results of findings and
examination of tissues for some other individual that
they're sending the report to.
Q. And, Dr. Roggli, did you review the
pathology reports for Mr. Argento's diagnosis in this
case?
A. I did.
Q. And did you review the pathology slides
in this case?
A. I did.
Q. What are pathology slides, please?
A. Well, what happens is the surgeon, as in
this case, would go in and take a biopsy sample of
the tumor, then send it to the laboratory. And then
the laboratory, a pathologist or somebody, a trainee
who is being supervised by a pathologist, will take
that sample and cut it into pieces and put it
in -- in different containers that they've carefully
labeled to say where each piece came from. If the
surgeon sends multiple samples, then each one of
those would be treated as a separate sample. And
then those are made into what we call paraffin

blocks, which is just the tissue which is embedded in 1
wax. And then the technicians use a very sharp razor 2
to cut very thin sections. They're typically about
3
5 microns thick, and puts those on a glass slide,
4
stains them, and then that's what the pathologist
5
looks at under the microscope as a slide.
6
Q. All right. Then, if Mr. Argento -- if
7
the pathology on Mr. Argento had slides for you to
8
look at, why didn't you do a burden analysis on -- on 9
what was on the slides?
10
A. Because in this case all they -- all
11
they obtained was tumor tissue. And we believe, and 12
I have published about this, is you really need to
13
have lung tissue samples to analyze to determine what 14
the asbestos content is. And that you don't learn
15
anything by analyzing tumor tissue, nothing useful. 16
Q. Was there sufficient lung tissue
17
preserved to enable you to do a fiber burden analysis 18
if you had wanted to in this case?
19
A. There was not.
20
Q. And to your knowledge, I think I've
21
asked you, you don't know of any fiber burden
22
analysis that's ever been performed on Mr. Argento's 23
lung tissue. Correct?
24
A. Correct.

Q.
All right, sir.
Let's talk quickly about asbestos uses,
1
2
sir.
3
As part of your work and your research
4
on asbestos and asbestos-related diseases, have you
5
studied the historical uses of the different asbestos
6
fiber types in the United States?
7
A. Yes.
8
Q. And have you studied the uses of amosite
9
in the United States?
10
A. Yes.
11
Q. And how long has amosite been used in
12
the U.S., sir?
13
A. Well, it was in insulation products
14
since -- since at least the '50s. And I think it
15
went back well before that, as well.
16
Q. And how long was it used? When did it
17
peak?
18
A. The peak for using -- of importing
19
asbestos of any type in the United States was 1973. 20
Q. And quickly, how was the amosite used in 21
the United States?
22
A. Mainly in insulation products. Most of
23
the amosite that was imported in the U.S. went into 24
what they call the half-rounds, which they would take 25
Page 4945
two half-rounds and put them around a pipe. That
would be the pipe insulation.
And then blocks, blocks of insulation
that would go around these huge boilers that
were -- that were producing steam in an industrial
setting. So that was the main place. Then there
were a few other products that amosite went into.
But that was the main -- main uses of amosite.
Q. What does it mean, Doctor, when you talk
about asbestos being friable?
A. Friable is a term that I think that
the -- that the government, OSHA, NIOSH, EPA, used.
It has to do with whether it is easily crumbled. And
if it's easily crumbled, the material, that means it
can easily be dispersed into the air upon use.
Friable versus nonfriable, in which not so much is
released.
Q. Thank you, sir.
Now, this use that you've described of
amosite for insulation and use on pipes, and so
forth, sir, did that produce a use that was friable
or nonfriable?
A. That's friable. That's a friable
product.
Q. Okay. Now, have you studied the use of
Page 4946
crocidolite in the United States?
A. Yes.
Q. How long was crocidolite used in
products in the U.S.?
A. Again, I think that at least to the
1950s, and probably well before that it was used.
And then as late as the mid-1990s was still used in
asbestos in the pipe.
Q. The 1990s?
A. Yes.
Q. All right.
Was crocidolite used in insulation
material, as well?
A. The insulation material I mentioned, the
Limpet spray, that actually intentionally had amosite
and crocidolite in it. And then there was
contamination of -- of -- of crocidolite into amosite
products when they shipped something other than what
was ordered.
Q. All right. I next want to discuss with
you Mr. Argento's diagnosis.
A. Sure.
Q. Okay? What information did you review
regarding Mr. Argento's medical history, sir?
A. Well, I looked at the pathology

materials that I received, of course. I looked at

the pathology report that went along with

that -- those pathology materials. I looked at the
3
histories and physicals, discharge summaries,
4
consultation reports, the surgical report. The
5
report of the surgeon when he took the biopsy sample. 6
And the radiology reports.
7
Q. And what information did you review
8
regarding Mr. Argento's work history?
9
A. The -- of course, I had subsequently
10
received deposition transcripts, I think that we've
11
discussed. But, also, there was some information
12
that was present actually in the medical records.
13
Q. And based on your review of these
14
materials, do you have a diagnosis regarding
15
Mr. Argento?
16
A. Yes.
17
Q. What is it, sir?
18
A. I believe he had a malignant pleural
19
mesothelioma.
20
Q. Now, let's talk about Mr. Argento's work
21
history for a moment. Okay? What's your
22
understanding of Mr. Argento's work history?
23
A. Well, his work history, I think it
24
included years at -- at different institutions,

15 years at one institution, and then 15 years with
1
Hoffmann-LaRoche. And at that latter institution, he 2
was involved with -- with insulation materials that
3
included removing insulation and -- and that he
4
actually had been trained and approved to work with 5
insulation. He had gotten a certificate to do that.
6
He also had some exposure, I think that
7
was claimed, from working with lawn products.
8
And he had some exposure that was claimed 9
through talc exposure, that first 15 years that I
10
mentioned, at a -- at a job site that I've forgotten
11
the name of now, that he worked for. It starts with
12
an "S," I think.
13
Then he had the claim from smoking Kent
14
cigarettes.
15
Q. All right, sir. I believe you do have
16
Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 2 in front of you there.
17
A. Exhibit 2. I do.
18
Q. And I believe that is some records that
19
indicate part of his work history, including the
20
occupation with the Hoffmann-LaRoche Company for 21
15 years. Is that correct, sir?
22
A. It does, yes.
23
Q. All right. Now, Doctor, have you as
24
part of your research, have you conducted studies on 25
Page 4949
the types of occupations and the types of industries
where mesothelioma occurs most often in the United
States?
A. Yes. That's the -- one of the main
topics of our study on the 1,445 cases, which is LTC
Exhibit 12.
Q. All right. In that study, what did you
do in terms of grouping the members of that study
into occupations or industries, sir?
A. Yeah. We found that there were 12
industries that the cases fit into or six occupations
that 90 percent of the cases fit into. And then we
also had a significant group that were what we call
household contacts of asbestos workers. That is, for
example, somebody who, say a housewife who lived in a
house where a ship worker was and washed his clothes.
So we had those groups, and that's how we categorized
the cases.
Q. Why, sir, did you go to the trouble of
grouping the 1,445 patients, why did you go to the
trouble of grouping them by occupation or by
industry?
A. Well, one is to see what is the most
common circumstances where we're actually seeing
mesothelioma. And two is to see what sort of -- what
Page 4950
sort of categories or -- or job descriptions were
accounting for most of the cases we were seeing.
Q. Thank you, sir.
Now, you've got the study in your hand,
and we're not going to go through it page by page, or
anything like that, close to that, sir, but can you
tell the men and women of the jury whether the
information that you used in this study came from
that database of the mesothelioma patients that we
discussed earlier?
A. Yes. The information was stored there.
Again, it was my experience with the cases, and it's
a convenient way to store the information, so I used
that, yes.
Q. And the 12 industries with the highest
incidence of mesothelioma, you put them in a table in
that study, did you not, sir?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And what is your understanding of
the work that Mr. Argento did when he was at
Hoffmann-LaRoche in the 1970s and 1980s? What's your
understanding of what work he did, and where would he
fit in that industry chart?
A. Well, he did maintenance work at that
institution, and that would be what I would call a

chemical company.
Q. Okay. And from your study of his work
history, did you see that he did pipe insulation
repair, removal, and maintenance?
A. I did.
Q. Okay. And you looked at his medical
records as well, did you not?
A. I did.
Q. And in the medical records, did you see
references to him telling his doctors about his
occupation and where he worked and where he was
exposed to asbestos?
A. I did.
Q. And did that inform your opinion, as
well, sir?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. For example, in Lorillard Exhibit No. 2,
the record of Dr. Vachani. I believe that's in
evidence.
MR. CEDILLO: Roman, can we put that up,
please.
Q. Dr. Vachani, the report states on
January 11 of 2012, "Mr. Argento also wanted to
clarify his prior asbestos exposures. He believes he
was exposed to asbestos during his employment at

Hoffmann-LaRoche where he was employed for 16 years
and was a supervisor of various sections, including
the insulation department."
And, Doctor, with that in mind, what is
your understanding of the type of insulation products
that Mr. Argento worked with at Hoffmann-LaRoche?
A. That would be pipe covering insulation.
Q. Do you recall Mr. Argento describing
cement and half-moon pipe insulation?
A. Yes.
Q. And do you recall him mentioning a
powdered product that was used and mixed?
A. I think I would call that the cement,
same as the cement.
Q. And for that pipe insulation that he
worked on, did Mr. Argento describe what was running
through those pipes?
A. Yes.
Q. And what did -- what do you recall he
was describing, sir?
A. It was typically hot materials, such as,
he mentioned the steam, I think it was alcohol and at
least one other material that ran through the pipes
that was hot.
MR. CEDILLO: Okay. You can take that
down, Roman.
Q. Dr. Roggli, what type of asbestos fibers
are known to have been used for insulation products
in the 1950 to 1970 time period when you were dealing
with hot liquids and chemicals in the pipes that were
involved?
A. Well, I think that after 1956, a great
majority of the insulation out there contained
amosite and chrysotile asbestos. And that, for some
of the types of insulation out there, they were only
amosite.
Q. And Dr. Roggli, based on your review of
the case materials that you examined, did Mr. Argento
work directly with pipe insulation at
Hoffmann-LaRoche?
A. Yes.
Q. And based on the review of his testimony
from his deposition, was Mr. Argento also around
people who worked on the pipe insulation -A. Yes.
Q. -- at Hoffmann-LaRoche?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And by referencing your table with the

been working on was the oil and chemical?
A. Yes.
Q. And what number is that on your list of
12, sir?
A. On our list of 12, we have them listed
in decreasing numbers of mesotheliomas that we saw,
and so the fifth highest numbers of mesotheliomas
were in the oil and chemical. We've had 88 of our
cases were in the oil and chemical industry.
Q. Now, can a worker be in more than one of
the 12 categories, Doctor?
A. Yeah, they can. And we try to put them
in the predominant category in that circumstance.
Q. Okay. And where is maintenance on that
list?
A. Well, that's in Table 2 under
occupations. And under occupations there was a
maintenance listed that accounted for 90 cases of
mesothelioma. It was the third most common
occupation that we saw in mesothelioma cases.
Q. All right. Let's break that down.
You just gave -- did you give a
percentage as part of that answer?
A. No.
Q. Let me ask you about the percentage. If

oil and chemical is the number five out of 12 in the
industry on that list that you have, from your study,
what percent of those type of workers had pleural
plaques?
A. Yeah. That's in a separate table we
looked at. And in oil and chemicals, I believe it
was 78 percent of them had pleural plaques.
Q. And on Table 2 that you mentioned, what
was the occupation with the highest incidence of
mesothelioma?
A. The pipefitter was number one, followed
by boilermaker, and then maintenance worker.
Q. Now, based on Table 2, what occupation
would Mr. Argento have been in during the years he
worked at Hoffmann-LaRoche?
A. Maintenance.
Q. And maintenance is number three on that
list?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And what percentage of those patients in
that case study that were on the maintenance, number
three on the list, what percentage of those patients
had pleural plaques?
A. Eighty percent.
Q. Maybe I've got ahead of myself. Can you

tell us, again, please, what the pleural plaque is?
A. That is the most common marker that we
see in asbestos exposure. What it is is the scarring
of the pleura. Mainly a localized area of thickening
and scarring of the pleura. The vast majority of the
cases are caused by asbestos, especially when they're
bilateral, both sides of the chest, are caused by
asbestos. And if they had been there for 30 years or
more, then you often see calcification in them which
makes them more dense and makes it easier for the
radiologist to see.
Q. Okay. Now, from your review of the
medical records of Mr. Argento, did he have calcified
pleural plaques?
A. He did. There was a CT scan that showed
it was a small amount, but the radiologist believed
it was a definite amount of pleural thickening with
calcification bilaterally, which he suggested was
caused by asbestos.
Q. And, Doctor, in your opinion, is there a
correlation between heavy exposure in an occupational
setting and the presence of pleural plaques?
A. Yeah. The more that you're exposed, the
more likely you are to get plaques. But plaques
occur with probably the lowest level of occupational
exposure of any disease we see from being exposed to
asbestos.
Q. Okay. And, Doctor, do you know of any
case report of a person with mesothelioma whose only
exposure was to Kent cigarettes that had pleural
plaques?
A. No.
Q. Have you ever found pleural plaques in
any of your cases of mesothelioma when people said
that the only exposure they had to asbestos was the
Kent cigarette?
A. Never.
Q. In your opinion, Doctor, what was the
cause of Mr. Argento's mesothelioma?
A. I believe it was caused by asbestos
exposure.
Q. And where -- do you have an opinion on
where that exposure would have taken place?
A. Yes. I think that most likely, based on
the information that I had of deposition, what he
told his doctors, that most likely it was from
exposure to insulation products when he worked for
Hoffmann-LaRoche for those 15 years.
Q. Now, you understand that Mr. Argento is
also claiming that he had a talc exposure that had

asbestos contamination and that that is claimed by
Mr. Argento to be a cause of his mesothelioma. You
understand that's in this case. Correct?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Do you have any opinion, whatsoever, on
whether or not the talc was contaminated and could
have been a contributing cause?
A. In this case I don't have the
information about the contamination of the talc, no.
Q. And the basis for your opinion that Mr.
Argento's mesothelioma was caused by occupational
exposure at Hoffmann-LaRoche, give me again, please,
the basis for that opinion?
A. The fact that he had bilateral pleural
plaques. The fact that he was a maintenance worker.
The fact that he fit into the industry of oil and
chemical refineries, both of which have accounted for
long-term release. Fiber analysis we have done in
those cases show increased amounts of amosite which
correlates with exposure to insulation products. His
own deposition testimony and what he told his doctors
about being exposed to insulation. That makes it
most likely that that was the most important exposure
causing his disease.
Q. All right, sir. Now, you also

understand, do you not, Doctor, that there's a claim
before this jury that Mr. Argento smoked the original
Kent and that that exposure to that filter
contributed to cause his mesothelioma? You
understand that that's a position. Correct?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Do you have an opinion, sir, on that
issue of the Kent being a contributing factor?
A. I do.
Q. And what is that opinion, please?
A. I think it's unlikely.
Q. And why do you think it unlikely, sir?
A. Based on our own experience in analyzing
lung tissue in individuals who have smoked Kent
cigarettes as their only known exposure, and also
based on my reconsideration of the information from
the Longo study published in 1995.
Q. Now, sir, based on your reconsideration
of the Longo study, we've already talked about that
the reconsideration was the basis of your change of
position on that, have you formed an opinion on the
reliability or validity of the Longo study in the
Cancer Research paper that was published?
MR. MAIMON: Objection.

MR. MAIMON: Your Honor, I have the
expert report served by the defendants in this case
for Dr. Roggli specific to the Kent exposure. And he
does not in here give any criticism of what Dr. Longo
talked about the reliability. The most that he says
is that "Although some studies have suggested fiber
release from smoking Kent cigarettes, analyses of
lung tissue samples from four individuals allegedly
exposed to asbestos from Kent Micronite filters
showed no detectable crocidolite fibers," and then
citing to his own work on that.
So he doesn't talk about the reliability
of that testing at all in his expert report.
And there's absolutely nothing in here
which would hint -- he would not qualify as an expert
in that. So it's beyond the scope of the proffer and
it's beyond the disclosure.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, I think -- I
think this is an expert witness. He's already
criticized Dr. Longo. And as a scientist, as a
medical researcher, I think he is entitled to give
his opinion on whether or not Dr. Longo's work
actually contributes to the scientific literature, or
if he has -- whatever his opinion is on that, I think
that it would inform the jury on what weight to give
the competing experts. That's a function of experts
that come in to give competing opinions.
THE COURT: This exceeds the scope of
this witness' area of expertise. His critique of
Longo is based upon the EPA articles -MR. MAIMON: Berman and Crumb.
THE COURT: Thank you, I couldn't
remember Berman. And so to ask him this ultimate
question, again, based upon someone who is not coming
in here to testify, I think it's also a James v. Ruiz
situation, so you cannot ask him that question.
MR. CEDILLO: All right.
THE COURT: All right. The objection is
sustained.
(End of sidebar.)
THE COURT: The objection is sustained.
Please do not answer that question.
MR. CEDILLO: May I proceed, your Honor?
THE COURT: Yes.
Q. In your 1,445 study, sir, that's a
peer-reviewed article, is it not?
A. Yes.
Q. And you did address whether smoking

original Kent cigarettes is a likely cause
mesothelioma, did you not?
A. Yes.
Q. And, Doctor, if the original Kent had
caused or contributed to cause these mesotheliomas,
would you expect to find crocidolite in the lung
tissue?
A. Yes.
Q. And did you?
A. No.
Q. Have you ever found crocidolite in the
lung tissue in your lab when people had other sources
of crocidolite exposure?
A. You mean other, like, occupational
exposures?
Q. Yes.
A. Sure, yes.
Q. The fact that you're not finding
crocidolite in people who claim to have smoked Kent
doesn't mean that you can't find crocidolite for some
reason. When it's there, you can find it, can't you?
A. Yes, we found crocidolite in quite a
number of cases. In that article "Crocidolite and
Mesothelioma," in 15 cases it was the only commercial
amphibole present in increased levels.

Q. And what is your assessment of the work
and asbestos exposure histories that the authors
provided in that article?
MR. MAIMON: Objection.
THE COURT: Sidebar.
(At sidebar.)
THE COURT: Someone bring that article.
Yes. The basis for your objection?
MR. MAIMON: The basis for my objection,
your Honor, is that the way that the question is
phrased -- I know that earlier on Mr. Cedillo had
asked Dr. Roggli if he had also analyzed lung tissue.
And I know that he has. I don't object to him
testifying about his own analysis of what he's done.
But to be the conduit for hearsay testimony, hearsay
evidence about what was told to whom, and all sorts
of things like that, I think is improper for an
expert to do. So I just wanted to have my concerns
raised at sidebar. I don't know what he's going to
say.
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, I'll establish
that he worked on this case. The question is did he
form an assessment of the work and occupational
histories that the authors here related in the
article. And he did. And he's going to, if you'll
permit me, tell this jury that they had it all wrong,
that her only exposure wasn't Kent cigarettes. In
fact, her husband worked at that Exxon plant and
brought home all kinds of flavors of asbestos, and he
found it in the lung tissue.
MR. MAIMON: I don't know about flavors,
your Honor, but I do know that Dodson and Hammar
documented all asbestos fiber types in their article.
So they didn't get it wrong, either. But that's the
problem with these type of questions. What
Mr. Cedillo is doing, he's testifying, and not Dr.
Roggli. If Dr. Roggli wants to testify about what he
analyzed from this case and actually did an analysis
on what he found, what he concluded to that, I have
no objection. But I do have an objection of him
starting to talk about whether or not the husband
worked at Exxon, because that's not in.
THE COURT: Actually, it is. It
says -MR. MAIMON: I didn't get it wrong,
either.
THE COURT: It says for the record on
page 683, "The husband of the individual reported
herein was reported as working as an engineer in an

industry where asbestos was most likely in place."
MR. MAIMON: Does it say Exxon?
THE COURT: Not where I read.
MR. MAIMON: Again, so that's my -- my
objection is to have this witness be a conduit for
hearsay testimony, which other Courts have said is
improper. If he wants to talk about what he analyzed
and compare it to what the article says, I'm prepared
to cross-examine.
THE COURT: The authors do say, too, Dr.
Roggli in here and in their references, Roggli and
Benning, 1990, "Asbestos Bodies in Pulmonary Hilar
Lymph Nodes," published in Modern Pathology.
Remind me again because it's been a
while. This is Plaintiff's Exhibit 7. We have
progressed since then. How did you utilize this in
connection with -MR. MAIMON: When we had Dr. Moline on
the stand, Dr. Moline referenced this as a learned
treatise to support the proposition that crocidolite
asbestos has been found in the lungs of mesothelioma
patients. She did not say -- and Mr. Cedillo is
wrong. Every time he says her only known exposure to
asbestos was Kent cigarettes, that's not what it
says. It says only documented, historically

documented exposure to asbestos.
But the authors here acknowledge that she
had other exposures because they found it in her lung
tissue. So no one is hiding the ball. Nothing is
nefarious here as suggested by the questioning. Dr.
Roggli looked at the slides, looked at the lung
tissue, did his own analysis, and came to a different
conclusion. That's fair game. What's not fair is to
start talking about the hearsay statements that are
contained in pleadings in that case, and depositions
in that case, and all sorts of things in that case,
which I'm assuming that they want to start having
this witness testify to, and that's what I object to.
MR. CEDILLO: The section, your Honor,
begins with the title where they say that the woman's
documented exposure was to asbestos from smoking the
Kent cigarette. He came on board and he clarified.
THE COURT: Are you planning on going
into pleadings and -MR. CEDILLO: No.
THE COURT: Okay. You're going to stick
to this article?
MR. CEDILLO: The article, itself.
THE COURT: Go.
MR. CEDILLO: Okay.

THE COURT: Okay.
(End of sidebar.)
Q. The question is simply do you have an
assessment of the work and asbestos exposure history
that the authors provided in this article, sir?
A. Yes.
Q. And the title of the article was,
"Pleural Mesothelioma in a Woman Whose Documented
Past Exposure to Asbestos Was From Smoking
Asbestos-Containing Filtered Cigarettes."
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And we know that can only be the Kent?
A. Yes.
Q. It was between '52 to '56. Correct?
A. That's my understanding.
Q. Did you do a fiber-burden analysis or an
analysis of any kind on the patient who was the
subject of this study, sir?
A. I did.
Q. Okay. And in that fiber burden, what
did you find?
A. As did Dr. Dodson, I found amosite to be
present.
Q. To your knowledge, was amosite ever used
as the asbestos in the filtering agent of the
original Kent cigarette?
A. It was not.
Q. Doctor, are there any epidemiological
studies of mesothelioma in people whose only exposure
to asbestos was from smoking original Kent
cigarettes?
A. No.
Q. Are there any epidemiological studies of
pleural plaques in people whose only exposure to
asbestos was from smoking original Kent cigarettes?
A. Not epidemiological studies, nor even
case reports.
Q. And if someone had a bilateral calcified
pleural plaque, what does that indicate to you as to
the level of asbestos exposure that he had?
A. Most of the time, it indicates
occupational level of exposure. In fact, we've
published a study recently that shows what's called
the positive predictive value of finding plaques in
patients with mesotheliomas is 99 percent. That
means 99 percent of the time you'll find elevated
asbestos content when you do fiber analysis.
Q. All right, sir.
And then you've given us opinions

regarding Dr. Longo's tests that he conducted for his
Cancer Research article, have you not, sir?
A. Yes.
Q. And did Dr. Longo have controls in the
testing that he conducted, sir, if you recall?
A. Not that I recall.
Q. Would you need a control from the -- the
time period that you're testing the cigarette to make
the testing more reliable, in your opinion?
MR. MAIMON: Objection.
THE COURT: Sidebar.
(At sidebar.)
MR. MAIMON: I thought we dealt with
this, your Honor. The reliability of the testing.
Dr. Roggli's -- he didn't even remember whether or
not there were controls or not, but now to start
eliciting expert testimony on how to reliably do
cigarette filter release testing is beyond the scope
of his, number one, expertise, and number two,
disclosure. So we object.
MR. CEDILLO: It's a general question
for a scientist that does these kinds of studies
whether or not you should have a control. Is that a
good thing to have?
THE COURT: Well, he's a scientist that

MR. CEDILLO: Okay.

anticipate?
MR. CEDILLO: I anticipate finishing
before 12:30.

further direct?
MR. BERGER: No, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. Then we'll take the
break after your direct.

Please don't answer that question.
Q. Dr. Roggli, are all of your publications
peer-reviewed, sir?
A. The ones that I have listed as
peer-reviewed publications are, yes.
Q. There are publications that you have
that are not peer-reviewed, and therefore you don't
list them. That's a better question.

typically are not peer-reviewed. They're invited.
The textbooks I've written, those typically are not
peer-reviewed. Some publishers will send out a
textbook and ask somebody to review it, but most
times they're not. And letters to the editor,
editorials, there are a number of those I've written.
I'm not sure to what degree those are peer-reviewed
either.
Q. Now, it's a big deal to have something
peer-reviewed, isn't it, sir?
A. It's considered to be important in terms
of what it adds to our scientific understanding and
to the medical literature, yes.
Q. So if you get something in a journal, it
typically can be used by people to say that it
informs their opinions. Correct?
A. Sure.
Q. And when something is supported by a
plaintiff's group so that it can get published, sir,
as a medical researcher and scientist, does that
affect the weight that you would give it?
A. Well, yeah. These days, we expect there
to be disclosure in the -- in the text. Most
journals will require that. If there is funding, for
example, somebody has done research that's funded by
a plaintiff group, you expect to see that in part of
the disclosure that goes along with the published
article.
Q. So let's say an article gets disclosed
that it was -- that it was funded by a plaintiff's
group, after it's published with the support of the
plaintiff's group, it's now available for people to
use and point to to support opinions, isn't it?
A. Yes.
MR. CEDILLO: Thank you, Dr. Roggli.
That's all I have for you right now, sir.
THE COURT: Any further direct, Mr.
Berger?
MR. BERGER: No, your Honor. Thank you.
THE COURT: Thank you.
We're going to take the lunch break now
and then we'll come back and go to the
cross-examination of Dr. Roggli.
So leave your notebooks here. Remember
to wear your juror badges. Remember all the
discussions I've had with you with regard to doing
any research or any discussions about this case.
Thank you very much. And a member of my
staff will pick you up downstairs at 1:30.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Cross-examination, Mr. Maimon.
MR. MAIMON: Thank you, your Honor.
Q. Good afternoon, Dr. Roggli. How are
you?
A. Good.
Q. This is not the first time you and I
have met. Correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. Both in depositions. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you are under oath and giving sworn
testimony when you give depositions. Right?
A. Sure.

Q. As well as trials before. Is that
correct?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. You introduced yourself to
the members of the jury this morning. You told them
that you are an expert in the field of pathology. Is
that correct?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And you mentioned a little bit
about some of your education and training and talked
about being board certified in the field of
pathology. Do you recall that?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. Board certification is not
something that is peculiar or particular to the field
of pathology, but all fields of medicine or all
specialties within medicine have their respective
boards. Correct?
A. Specialties, yes, they do.
Q. And those board certifications, whether
you're a pulmonologist or an oncologist or a
pathologist or an expert in occupational and
environmental medicine, that testing for the level of
competence that you spoke about earlier this morning
for the Board of Pathology, that would be the same

for any board certification. Correct?
A. I believe so.
Q. Okay. And I think one of the things
that you talked about that you are involved
from -- as a pathologist in the diagnosis of
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And I think you mentioned that part of
the numbers of cases of mesothelioma that you've seen
have been people who happen to come to the hospital
at Duke or at the VA who had mesothelioma; and in the
course of looking to treat those patients, their
slides, their pathology, their biopsies would come to
your laboratory to confirm or question the diagnosis
of mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. When in the hospital setting, when you
are -- somebody has a biopsy taken, whether it's at
surgery or at autopsy, and you're called upon to look
at that, that diagnosis does not call for a
determination of which product or products they may
have been exposed to 30, 40 years prior contributed
to their mesothelioma. Correct?
A. That's true.
Q. So within the role of pathologist,
primarily you're called upon to confirm or call into
question the diagnosis of the patient. Right?
A. Well, partly. But we are also involved
with causation. Any time that a surgeon takes a
biopsy that's potentially a mesothelioma, we're
always looking to see if the surgeon also obtained
pleural plaques. If he did, we mention that in our
report. If the surgeon happens to get lung tissue
for some reason at the biopsy, we always look for
asbestos bodies, and if we find them we report that.
But we are involved with some degree to causation,
but not specific products.
Q. Okay. So that, generally speaking, the
question of whether or not asbestos caused this
disease or not, in general, that's something you
might be involved with at the hospital level. Right?
A. Correct.
Q. But the question of this product or that
product or looking into the occupational history of
this patient, that's not something that you get
involved in with the hospital. Right?
A. True.
Q. In fact, within the context of your
practice, as a matter of routine, it's not your
routine to sit down with patients and get an

occupational history. Correct?
A. Not my routine. I've done it before,
but not my routine.
Q. I understand. You may have done it on a
few occasions. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. So for instance -- and
you've been chosen to be members of -- a member of
various panels that look at the diagnosis of
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. One of those is the U.S./Canadian
Mesothelioma Panel. Right?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. That, again, is dealing with the
question of diagnosis of mesothelioma in the patient
whose sample you're looking at. Right?
A. Almost exclusively, yes.
Q. And the question of what particular
exposure might have caused that mesothelioma, that's
not something that the U.S./Canadian Mesothelioma
Panel is involved in. Correct?
A. Yeah. It comes up, and I can remember
an occasion in recent time it has.
Q. And you're aware of other specialties,

such as -- the jury heard Dr. Jacqueline Moline who
is an expert in occupational and environmental
medicine, you are not board certified in that area.
Correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. You rendered a report August 27, 2013,
in this case confirming that Mr. Argento suffered and
died from malignant mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And that is a -- mesothelioma is
a -- is a painful disease, is not?
A. It tends to be, yes, sir.
Q. And you would have expected from looking
at Mr. Argento's medical records that he would have
suffered significant pain from his mesothelioma.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, and one of the things that
you noted in Mr. Argento's medical records is the
presence of bilateral calcified plaques. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And based on that and that alone,
the diagnosis of mesothelioma and the presence of
bilateral calcified plaques, you're able to determine
that, more likely than not, his mesothelioma was

caused by prior exposure to asbestos. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. Now, you mentioned some other
potential causes of mesothelioma this morning. Do
you recall that?
A. Yes.
Q. I think I recalled you talking about
radiation therapy. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And that's when somebody has a type of a
cancer and they specifically radiate that tumor,
there are some cases of mesothelioma that have
developed in later years. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. You have no evidence that that played
any role in Mr. Argento's mesothelioma. Correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. You mentioned some other non-asbestos
type of materials. Erionite from Turkey,
fluoro-edenite from Greece, you have no evidence that
those materials played any role, whatsoever, in Mr.
Argento's mesothelioma. Correct?
A. That's correct. But I believe I said
before the fluoro-edenite was from Sicily.
Q. You're right. Okay.
And anything other than asbestos
exposure, you have no evidence caused or contributed
to Mr. Argento's mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. Now, in addition to the report
that you issued on August 27, 2013 -MR. MAIMON: May I approach, your Honor?
THE COURT: Yes. That's P-130?
MR. MAIMON: Yes, your Honor.
(P-130, Marked for Identification.)
Q. I'm going to hand you what we've marked
as Plaintiff's Exhibit 130 for identification. And
if you take a look at that, that's a report that you
authored on October 2, 2013. Is that correct?
A. It says October 3. Close enough.
Q. October -- no, look at the second page.
A. It says October 3, too.
THE COURT: Do you want to check these,
Counsel? Mine says October 3.
MR. CEDILLO: Mine says October 3.
MR. MAIMON: Okay. Okay. Can I borrow
one of those?
MR. CEDILLO: Sure. I'm okay, Judge.

that letter by saying, "You have requested my further

opinion concerning the etiology of the mesothelioma
in the case of Michael C. -- Mr. Michael C. Argento
as diagnosed in my prior report dated August 27,
2013." Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And aside from putting the
word "the" twice there, I quoted that correctly, did
I not?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And when you use the term
"etiology," what you're talking about is what caused
his mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, in order to give an opinion
on this subject, you were provided with -- by the
lawyers who retained you, with material such as Mr.
Argento's deposition. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you are testifying here on behalf of
Lorillard Tobacco Company. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you're testifying here on behalf of
Hollingsworth & Vose. Correct?
A. Yes.

testimony his discussion of using joint compound on
various home renovation projects?
A. Yeah. I forgot to mention that when I
described his exposures.
Q. Right. And did you see his testimony
about using various lawn products?
A. Yes.
Q. And did you see his testimony about
working at Hoffmann-LaRoche?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you see his testimony about working
at the "S" company, the Shulton Company, if I can jog
your memory?
A. Yes, sure.
Q. And then did you see his testimony about
smoking Kent cigarettes?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And let's take a look at these.
And so this would be the potential contributory
asbestos exposures in this case. Those five. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, the jury has already seen
Mr. Argento's testimony in this case. And I'm going
to give you sections of it, and if it's okay with
you, ask you some questions. Okay?

A.

(P-131, Marked for Identification.)
Q. Okay. And this is Exhibit 131 for
identification, which is the section of Mr. Argento's
deposition testimony where he talks about the joint
compound work that he did. And did you have an
opportunity before you wrote your report to read Mr.
Argento's testimony about this?
A. I believe so.
Q. Okay. Now, it's true, is it not, Dr.
Roggli, that you reject any potential contribution to
Mr. Argento's mesothelioma from his use of the joint
compound?
A. No.
Q. So do you believe -A. We published two cases of -- of
individuals with mesothelioma that we believe was
related to exposure to joint compound.
Q. What I'm asking you, sir, is whether or
not in Mr. Argento's case, given the history that he
gave there, whether or not you reject that exposure
as contributing to his mesothelioma?
A. No, I don't have enough information to
tell one way or another.
Q. So you can't say one way or another?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. How many times did Mr. Argento
use the joint compound?
A. Let's see. I don't recall that, but I'm
sure it probably says in here, in his testimony. I
don't recall it specifically? I think he's saying,
"You did this work?
"The 15 years I was there. I don't know.
Three times, twice."
Is that what you're referring to?
Q. Yes.
A. In my opinion, that would not be a
contributing factor.
Q. Okay. So if that testimony was accurate
and that's the extent to which he used the joint
compound, you would reject that as a cause of his
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. And with regard to the Scotts
Turf Builder, you understand that at various times
Scotts Turf Builder products had -- withdrawn.
One minute.
Let's stick with the joint compound.
Mr. Argento had malignant pleural
mesothelioma. Correct?

A. Yes.
Q. And that's mesothelioma that arises in
the lining of his lung, in the pleura. Right?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. There's another type of mesothelioma
that arises in the peritoneum, the lining of the
abdomen. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And that's called peritoneal
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. It's true, is it not, that in the
past you have testified that exposure to
chrysotile-containing products can cause peritoneal
mesothelioma?
A. I may have, but not since 1997, I don't
believe.
Q. Okay. And you changed your mind about
that. Right?
A. Yeah, we did a study, actually, that was
published this year, finally published this year. It
was originally written by Dr. Oury in 1997, but sat
around for all those years until we finally published
it.
Yeah, but from that study we did in 1997

was sort of an eye opener saying, oh my gosh, we
don't have any cases of mesothelioma in which only
chrysotile or tremolite were identified.
Q. Okay. And that was based, again, on
your lung digestion studies. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. Scotts Turf Builder, you rejected
that as a potential contributing cause to Mr.
Argento's mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. So that if the lawyers here were
to have asked you prior to you coming in to give
testimony, or prior to you writing the report, in
this case, was the joint compound or the Turf Builder
a cause of Mr. Argento's mesothelioma, you would have
told them it was not. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. The next discussion there is
asbestos insulation at Hoffmann-LaRoche. Do you see
that?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, earlier today, or right before we
broke, you were talking about your article of the
1,445 cases that you had reviewed up until that time.

from your files. Right?
A. Yeah, they're all from my files.
Q. Even though you had coauthors, the cases
came from your files. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. What percentage of those cases
were -- came to you through your work as a consultant
in litigation?
A. Well, somewhere -- well, 80 to
85 percent, I would say.
Q. Okay. And you mentioned that you
categorized the different cases of mesothelioma first
by industry and then by trade. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And for Mr. Argento, you put his
industry in, I think you said, chemical and oil for
Hoffmann-LaRoche?
A. What we did is when we did those, we put
oil and chemical plants together, oil and chemical
refineries together.
Q. Okay. And you categorized Mr. Argento
under the industry oil and chemicals. Right?
A. The oil and chemical part of that, yes.
Q. Okay. Are you aware that
Hoffmann-LaRoche was a pharmaceutical company?
A. I may have been. I don't recall.
Q. And is it your testimony that that
business here in New Jersey, Hoffmann-LaRoche, is
equivalent to a chemical plant, a chemical refinery?
A. In a lot of ways in the sense that the
chemical refineries chemically had lots of
insulation. There was lots of pipes that were
insulated. And to the extent he had lots of pipes in
the 141 buildings that were insulated that he was
responsible for, I think it was similar in that
respect.
Q. Well, there were a lot of industries in
that article that you talk about that have a lot of
pipes. Right?
A. Sure.
Q. And I misplaced it, but I'll find it in
a bit.
In any event, you -- you were not aware
that Hoffmann-LaRoche was a pharmaceutical -- do you
recall Mr. Argento testifying that -- that
Hoffmann-LaRoche was purely a pharmaceutical company
when he worked there?
A. I may have at the time that I reviewed

the deposition. I just didn't recall it.

his mesothelioma. Correct?

Mr. Argento worked at Shulton Company. Correct?

May we approach?

THE COURT: Yes.
MR. DUNST: Your Honor, in Dr. Roggli's
report -THE COURT: Which one?
MR. DUNST: Well, as to they're both the
same day and they both say essentially the same
thing.
MR. MAIMON: No, one was a diagnostic
report, August 27th.
MR. DUNST: Well, there's two of these
reports both October 3rd.
MR. MAIMON: This is the only one I'm
using.

MR. DUNST: Okay. There's another one.
Let's say it's this October 3rd report.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. DUNST: On the very last page, Dr.
Roggli says, "Exposure to asbestos from
tremolite-containing talc may also have been a
contributing factor."
I respectfully suggest to the Court that
this is insufficient for Dr. Roggli to render any
opinions regarding that my client's talc being a
substantial contributing factor. He, in fact, did
say that he didn't have enough information on direct
examination, but certainly here this "may" is the
same thing as "possible."
And he would not have been able to
testify to that on direct examination; and for
Mr. Maimon to cross-examine him about something that
he wouldn't have been able to testify to on direct, I
think is wrong.
I don't know what Dr. Roggli is going to
say, but certainly he's never disclosed anything
regarding my client's product, and to go into it at
all I think is improper.
THE COURT: You had this report prior to
today. Correct?

MR. DUNST: Of course.
THE COURT: Okay. I just wanted to make
1

sure.
3
And on direct examination, you did
4
inquire with regard to -5
MR. CEDILLO: To elicit the response
6
that he had no opinion one way or the other. But he
7
didn't have enough information and I let it go. I
8
didn't go there at all.
9
THE COURT: Okay. And -10
MR. MAIMON: So this is within the scope 11
of the examination. It's in the scope of -- he
12
didn't say that the pipe insulation at
13
Hoffmann-LaRoche was a cause, either, in his report. 14
He says, "Exposure to asbestos by applying and
15
removing pipe insulation is a well-recognized cause 16
of mesothelioma in the United States."
17
There's a next step here which is
18
proper, and in certain circumstances it can and in
19
certain circumstances it may not. I'm going to
20
explore what he put in his report, the basis for it.
21
The fact that he told this jury he had no information 22
at all is belied by his report, it goes to not only
23
his credibility, but His whole task here was the
24
etiology of Mr. Argento's mesothelioma. I think it's 25
fair cross-examination.
MR. DUNST: No, but I'm basing it, your
Honor, from a disclosure point of view. He says
"may." "May" is insufficient in order to be able to
have an opinion for the jury, and therefore I think
exploring it on cross-examination may be equally
improper.
MR. CEDILLO: Judge, I'm not a party in
the fight except timing. I'm always the last one,
and they're always telling me to hurry up.
THE COURT: I don't tell you that.
MR. CEDILLO: All of us want to hurry
up. Except you.
THE COURT: Well, that would be
improper. Get to your point.
MR. CEDILLO: It's exceeding the scope.
I mean, I don't open up the area for discussion I get
from him that he has no opinion on it.
THE COURT: Well, okay. Your opinions
with regard to this. So it does not exceed the
scope. It did come up, and so it's proper cross.
And it also goes to credibility that the witness
testified he did not have enough information, so it
goes to those two issues.
All right. Continue.

THE COURT: You may continue,
Mr. Maimon.
Q. And so, Dr. Roggli, in your report you
did address asbestos-containing talc at Shulton.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you accepted this as a potential
contributory asbestos exposure for Mr. Argento.
Correct?
A. Assuming it was asbestos-containing
talc, yes.
Q. Okay. But in the last -- well, let's
get -- let's get there in a minute. Ah-ha. Okay.
The talc can be contaminated with tremolite asbestos.
Correct?
A. That's my understanding.
Q. Okay. And you've written about that in
the past, have you not?
A. I have.
Q. Okay. And with regard to -- you were
shown some medical records from Mr. Argento, LTC-1
and 2, where he talked about asbestos exposure at
Hoffmann-LaRoche. Do you recall those?
A. Yes.

Q. Okay. Now, there's nothing that you
know about Kent cigarettes which would reveal to the
person who was smoking them in the 1950s that they
contained asbestos. Correct?
Do you understand my question?
A. You mean just by looking at the
scientific literature?
Q. Sure. The person who was smoking Kent
cigarettes with the Micronite filter containing
asbestos between 1952 and 1956, to the best of your
knowledge -- and you shared with us some of your
knowledge about what was in there -- was there
anything about that that would alert the smoker to
the fact that it contained asbestos?
A. No.
Q. And similarly, somebody working with the
product that they called talc, if it had some
tremolite contamination in it, there's no way that
the user just by looking at it would know that it's
contaminated with asbestos. Right?
A. Well, you said two different things.
You said tremolite, then you said asbestos.
Q. Let me be clear.
A. Okay.
Q. If Mr. Argento was working near an

asbestos-contaminated talc at Shulton, there was no
way a person working with such a product would know
that it has asbestos in it if it's not labeled that
way. Right?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. So that the fact that Mr. Argento
told his doctors that he was exposed to asbestos or
was working with asbestos at Hoffmann-LaRoche doesn't
mean he wasn't exposed to asbestos in other ways, as
well. Correct?
A. True.
Q. In fact, one of the things that you have
found is that some people can be exposed to asbestos
and not even know it. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Because you could take a look at their
lungs and find the asbestos in there when they don't
even know that they were exposed. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And, in fact, there could be people who
had exposures that they knew about which are revealed
when you look at their lung tissue, and asbestos
exposures that they didn't know about it which are
revealed on lung digestion. Correct?
A. That's also true, yes.
Q. Okay. So we have that. And then for
the Kent cigarettes, you rejected the potential
contributory asbestos exposure towards his
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, we talked a little bit about
that, or you talked to counsel for Lorillard about
that before, but it's true, is it not, Dr. Roggli,
that if the only asbestos exposure that Mr. Argento
had that anybody could find out about no matter how
much they investigated -- and we'll talk about lung
digestion in a minute -- but just by talking to him
and everybody he knew, was to Kent cigarettes, you
would still reject it as a contributory cause of his
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And it's your understanding that
he smoked approximately a pack and a half a day of
those Kents. Correct?
A. Yes. I think one place in the medical
records mentioned two packs a day, but I don't know
if that goes back to that period in time.
Q. In your report you put a pack and a half
a day. Right?
A. That's correct.

Q. Okay. And even if he were smoking two
packs a day of Kent cigarettes during that period of
time and that were his only asbestos exposure, you
would say it played no role and his mesothelioma was
just spontaneous. Just happened. Right?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. And if he smoked four packs of
cigarettes a day, Kent cigarettes with the asbestos
filter in it, you still would say didn't cause it,
just spontaneous. Right?
A. I've never seen anybody who did that.
But if there were such a case, probably.
Q. Okay. Now, you mentioned that you have
a database where all this information is there.
Correct?
A. The information that I indicated, yes.
Q. Okay. And one of the fields that you
put in your database is whether or not who sent you
the case to review. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And this would have been a defense
lawyer who sent you the case. Right?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And you were asked before whether
or not you testified both for plaintiffs and

defendants. It's true, is it not, first of all, you
never worked for my firm Levy Konigsberg. Right?
A. That's correct.
Q. And it's true, is it not, that within
the last several years the vast majority of your
consultation work has been for the defense. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. In the database, so it's reflected who
sent you the case, a defense attorney or a
plaintiff's attorney. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And then it says whether or not the
result that you reached was positive for the person
who sent it to you. Correct?
A. Or negative or neutral.
Q. Or neutral. Right. Then you talk about
the different exposures there. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Within the database -- first of all, do
you have the entry of the database for Mr. Argento
here with you?
A. No.
Q. Okay. Within the database entry, did
you include the asbestos-containing talc at Shulton?
A. I think so.

Q. You think so?
A. I didn't write it down as being talc,
but I think I included that 15 years at Shulton as
part of the exposure, yes.
Q. Okay. And as far as you know, the only
possible asbestos-containing product that Mr. Argento
was disposed to at Shulton was potentially
asbestos-containing talc. Correct?
A. The only one I heard about.
Q. And that's the one in your report.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, let's talk a little bit
about Mr. Argento's time at Hoffmann-LaRoche. Okay?
A. Sure.
(P-132, Marked for Identification.)
Q. I'm handing you what I marked as
Plaintiff's Exhibit 132, and those are the portions
of Mr. Argento's testimony which the jury has seen
which discussed his work at Hoffmann-LaRoche. And
you reviewed this material. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And if you could take a look at
the end of the transcript here, pages 397 and 398.
Just let me know when you're there. Okay?
A. Okay.
Q. Okay. First of all, in your report, you
mention that from 1970 to 1985 he worked for
Hoffmann-LaRoche in the maintenance department, paint
shop division, where he painted all pipe insulation
located in 141 buildings. He also removed and
replaced insulation.
Did I read that correctly?
A. I believe so, yes.
Q. Okay. So first of all, one of the
things Mr. Argento talked about was when he joined
Hoffmann-LaRoche in 1970 he went into the paint
department and was painting everything, including
insulation. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. It's your understanding that he wasn't
designated as the pipe painter, he was painting all
sorts of things which included pipe insulation.
Right?
A. Yeah, it was part of his maintenance
work.
Q. Okay. And he was specifically within
the paint shop division of the maintenance
department. Correct?
A. Yes.

Q. Okay. Are painters part of your
industries that are at risk for mesothelioma in your
1,445 article?
A. I think. I have -- I think I've got the
article here. I think the painters are under
construction industry. I have to look back at it to
be sure.
Q. Take a look at Table 1, if you could.
A. Yeah. So you can see there under C,
"Construction includes construction worker, laborer,
carpenter, painter, drywall/plasterer."
Q. Okay. And so even though this is the
types of workers there, what determines whether or
not they get mesothelioma is their exposure to
asbestos. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. You could have a construction worker who
never touches asbestos and you wouldn't expect him to
get mesothelioma. Correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. Okay. Now, the -- when you take a look
at a history -- so let's go on.
The pipe painting, do you believe that
Mr. Argento was exposed to a significant dose of
asbestos in painting pipe insulation? Just painting

it?
A. Just doing the painting part?
Q. Just doing the painting.
A. I doubt it.
Q. Okay. What you believe potentially
exposed him to significant asbestos was removing and
replacing insulation. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, one of the things -- there
are a couple of things that you look at as an expert
when you're evaluating causation from an exposure.
One is the dose. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And the dose is how much asbestos is in
the air and how long the person is breathing
that -- that air. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And then one of the things that you look
at is fiber type. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Because, as you noted earlier
today, certain types of asbestos are more potent at
causing mesothelioma than other types. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And so let's take a look at what

Mr. Argento said about his work removing and
replacing mesothelioma -- I mean, asbestos pipe
covering at -- at Hoffmann-LaRoche. Okay?
A. Sure.
Q. The first thing, did you notice that he
talked about the fact that they set up clean rooms or
pure rooms? Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And do you notice that he talked about
it being almost like a cocoon where there would be
plastic all around? Do you recall that?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you recall him testifying about
wetting down the insulation before it was ever cut?
Do you recall that?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you recall him testifying that
anything that was cut off would be placed in an
enclosed plastic bag? Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And that's important to you because if
it's not enclosed, later on it has the potential to
release more asbestos later on. Right?
A. Sure.
Q. And do you recall him testifying about
wearing a respirator when doing this work?
A. A mask.
Q. Okay. And do you recall him testifying
that he was certified? Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And OSHA certification requires wearing
of respirators. Correct?
A. Not familiar with all the details of
OSHA certification for that sort of work.
Q. Is it your understanding that people who
are OSHA certified to remove asbestos from in place
wear respirators?
A. I would be surprised if they weren't.
But, again, I haven't read the details of that, that
litigation -- that legislation.
Q. Given your expertise, you would expect
it to be a respirator. Correct?
A. Yes. Some form of protection of some
type.
Q. Now, one of the things we want to talk
about when we're talking about a period like 1970 to
1985, is, for instance, when did all this happen.
Correct? That would be important to know. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. And do you see on page 397

and 398 that Mr. Argento testified that he was only
in charge of removing insulation into the 1980s when
he became part of the insulation department?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, it's true, is it not, that
the decrease -- that asbestos was banned from use in
insulation products starting in 1972?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. So that whatever was being
replaced and put back on to those pipes after 1972
should not have been asbestos at all. Right?
A. Depends.
Q. Okay. Asbestos -- there was pipe
covering that was put back on those pipes the way
that Mr. Argento described it that would not have
been asbestos in the 1980s. Correct?
A. It depends.
Q. Depends on what?
A. It depends on -- my understanding is
that whatever companies have in their inventory was
not forbidden. They did not totally have to throw it
away. I was never told that was the case. So if
some companies had old insulation in inventory, they
could have used it even if it had asbestos in it even
in the 1980s. They couldn't buy insulation

after '72, my understanding, that had asbestos in it,
but if they had it in their inventory they could use
it.
Q. So in order for the new insulation that
Mr. Argento put on in the 1980s that contained
asbestos, it would have had to have lasted from 1972
into the 1980s, not been used up, and then he would
have had to put that on. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And do you recall his testimony that
whenever he would do that he would be in a clean room
and he would be wearing the suit that he talked
about, the protective clothing, and the respirator?
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And so it would be important for
you when assessing what contribution, if any, his
exposures at Hoffmann-LaRoche had to his mesothelioma
to know whether or not the products that he was
putting on contained asbestos. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And, now, you talked a little bit
about that amosite was used in insulation products.
Correct?
A. Yes.

Q. Okay. And the fiber type that he might
have been exposed to at Hoffmann-LaRoche would be an
important consideration for you. Correct?
A. Sure.
Q. Okay. Now, it's true, is it not, Dr.
Roggli, that you have no evidence of what type of
fiber was in any of the insulation material that Mr.
Argento came in contact with at Hoffmann-LaRoche?
Correct?
A. No direct evidence. That's true.
Q. Okay. And you know that he was taking
out asbestos. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Another word for taking out asbestos is
abatement. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. You know that records are maintained of
abatements pursuant to regulations?
A. They are currently. I'm not sure about
how far back that goes.
Q. Okay. Do you know that when contractors
go in and do abatements, they analyze bulk samples?
They take sampling and determine whether or not what
I'm taking out is asbestos; and if it is, there are
special regulations to take it out. Right?
A. Currently they do that, yes.
Q. And part of that analysis is able to
determine what fiber type of asbestos might be in the
insulation material that's going to be removed.
Correct?
A. Sure.
Q. Okay. Have you looked into any
abatement records from Hoffmann-LaRoche during the
time period that Mr. Argento worked there?
A. I have not seen such records, no, sir.
Q. Okay. Now, you mentioned that there are
some types of insulation that are exclusively
amosite. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And you have no evidence in this
case to support the contention that the type of
insulation used at Hoffmann-LaRoche was that pure
amosite. Correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. Okay. There were types of insulation
materials including pipe coverings that had
chrysotile. Right?
A. As part of the composition, yes. And
prior to 1956, I think there were some in which
chrysotile was the only component.

Q. Okay. And, again, you don't know what
type of asbestos fiber was in the -- in the
insulation that Mr. Argento came into contact with
Hoffmann-LaRoche. Correct?
A. From his description of what he did and
what the company did and what the plant was doing, it
almost certainly was in that time period it would
have to be amosite-containing insulation.
Q. Okay. And the fact that it was hot
applications. Is that right?
A. That's part of it, yes.
Q. How hot was it?
A. I do not know.
Q. Well, wasn't that one of the factors in
whether or not to use an amosite-containing covering
as opposed to a chrysotile-containing pipe covering,
the temperature range that you're applying?
A. I'm not familiar with that. I'm more
familiar with the chemical corrosion of chrysotile
for the Navy, for example, and shipbuilding you had
to use amosite.
Q. Okay. So that, for instance, there was
some type -- there were types of materials that would
be going through some of the piping, such as acids or
caustic fluids that would require an amphibole.

article in the American Review of Respiratory Disease
from 1976. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And this is exactly around the time
period that Mr. Argento started working over at -- or
was working at Hoffmann-LaRoche. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And this is published by an individual
by the name of Dr. Margaret Becklake. Correct?
A. Yes.

an expert in asbestos-related diseases. Correct?

Q. Okay. And if you take a look on page
191 of the article, there is a table, Table 2. Do
you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And that talks about the varieties of
asbestos properties, sources, and usage. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And it talks about the different fiber
types of asbestos, the same ones you talked about
earlier today. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And under -- there's one section
that's called "Serpentine." Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And serpentine, the type of asbestos
that that has is chrysotile. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And Dr. Becklake in this article
in 1976 talks about insulation being the
type -- being under the "Chrysotile" column. Right?
A. That's what she says.
Q. And she says that at this time, 1976,
she drops two asterisks there that it's being phased
out. Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. In addition, she talks about
cement products being chrysotile. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And for tremolite, she has "Used
in the chemical industry as fillers and filters."
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And "talc fillers." Do you see that?
Did I read that correctly?
A. Yes. Or is that "filters"? I can't
tell.
Q. Maybe "filters." I don't know.
A. Okay.
Q. There's "fillers and filters." Do you
see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Can you tell what the talc is?
A. No. It's -- I'm not sure if it says
"filters" or "fillers."
Q. Okay. And for crocidolite, it lists
"Textiles." Do you see that?
A. For crocidolite. "Textiles." Yeah, I
see it, yes.

Q. "Cement products"?
A. Yes.
Q. That would be that asbestos cement pipe.
Right? And those are pipes that are used as -- for
sewage and for water to go through underground.
Right?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. And then it talks about felts for
plastics. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, that fiber type -- oh,
another issue that you look at is dose. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And you cannot say here with
medical certainty or scientific certainty what Mr.
Argento's dose of asbestos was from working at
Hoffmann-LaRoche, can you?
A. Correct.
Q. And you don't -- you had no air
monitoring data. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And if he was wearing a respirator and
was wetting down the insulation and working in the

pure rooms and bagging the pipe covering as he -- as
he described in the 1980s, you can't say that he had
a dose that would cause mesothelioma, can you?
A. I think in consideration of all the
information available in this case, I think I would
say yes.
Q. One of the things that you have
testified to before is that wetting down a pipe
before you cut it can decrease the likelihood of
breathing in significant fibers of respirable
asbestos. Correct?
A. It certainly reduces the amount of
exposure, yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And so you don't -- you cannot
tell the jury how much asbestos Mr. Argento was
exposed to at Hoffmann-LaRoche, can you?
A. That's correct.
Q. Okay. You've also testified in the
past, have you not, that wearing a respirator mask
further reduces the likelihood of breathing in
significant amounts of fibers? Correct?
A. It reduces the amount, yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And if Mr. Argento was wearing a
mask, is it still your testimony that he was exposed
to enough asbestos -- you see here that he's talked

about always wearing protective clothing?
1
A. I remember him discussing about
2
protective clothing, yes.
3
Q. Okay. Take a look at page 399, starting
4
on line 12. "And did you -- every time that you went 5
into one of these plastic cocoons to supervise the
6
removal of any insulation, did you follow that
7
procedure every time?"
8
And he says, "That's the only thing you
9
could do."
10
"QUESTION: And did you wear the
11
protective clothing every time?
12
"ANSWER: Paper suit. Paper suit every
13
time.
14
"QUESTION: And did you get vacuumed off 15
every time?"
16
And he says, "Every time."
17
Do you see that?
18
A. Yes.
19
Q. So not only did Mr. Argento have the
20
paper suit on and the mask on, but he would get
21
vacuumed off. Is that your recollection?
22
A. Yes.
23
Q. If the asbestos used at Hoffmann-LaRoche 24
was chrysotile, that would not have caused his
25
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. If it were only chrysotile, then I would
not have enough information to say that more likely
than not it would cause it.
Q. Okay. Now, you mentioned earlier today
that there's a possibility that some insulation by
mistake would have crocidolite where it was meant to
have amosite. Do you recall that?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. You have no proof or no evidence
that that was ever the case of anything that happened
at Hoffmann-LaRoche, do you?
A. No.
Q. Okay. If that was the case and there
was some crocidolite in some insulation there, it
would be true that all you could say is that he -- if
he also smoked Kent cigarettes and was exposed to
crocidolite also in the workplace, that both would
contribute to the crocidolite content of his lung and
it would not be possible to say the relative
contribution between the two. Is that fair?
A. I would agree with the first part of
that; but the latter part I don't think more likely
than not would result in enough in the lung to be a
contributing factor.
Page 5018
Q. I'm talking about when you breathe in
asbestos, it gets into your lung. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And the more asbestos you breathe in,
the more is there. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And you can't tell by looking under your
microscope which fiber came from which product, can
you, aside from knowing if they're both the same
fiber type in the products? Right?
A. Well, that's true. But we've analyzed
cases in which their only known exposure was through
smoking Kents and found no crocidolite. But we found
people who smoked Kents and worked in a working
environment where they're exposed to crocidolite and
we did find crocidolite.
Q. Do you recall testifying as follows:
"All one could say is that if the individual smoked
Kent cigarettes" -MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, I object.
THE COURT: Sidebar.
(At sidebar.)
MR. CEDILLO: That's improper
impeachment, your Honor. He's confronting him with
something. There is the question that was asked.

Q. Dr. Roggli, I'm going to hand you up
what we marked as Plaintiff's Exhibit 134. And do
you recognize that as the sworn deposition testimony
that you gave on January 30th, 1996?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And this was a case in which you
appeared as an expert for the plaintiff where the
claim was that smoking Kent cigarettes caused that
gentleman's mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And turn to page 15.
A. Fifteen?
Q. I'm sorry. At the end of 14.
A. Okay.

first case that you testified about Kent cigarettes
causing mesothelioma. Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And you were asked, "If that person was
occupationally exposed to crocidolite asbestos or
worked with products in the workplace that contained
crocidolite asbestos, then the fact that crocidolite
asbestos can be demonstrated in his tumor doesn't
lead you to conclude that it had to have come from
the cigarette. I mean, I guess what I'm saying is if
you assume that that person worked with crocidolite
asbestos products in the workplace, then you can't
conclude with reasonable certainty that any
crocidolite in his lung came from the cigarette as
opposed to the workplace. Isn't that right?"
Do you see that question?
A. Yes.
Q. And your answer was, "Well, I think that
there's two answers to that. First of all, regarding
that assumption, I have not been provided any
information by anybody to corroborate that assumption
that he was exposed to any crocidolite in the
workplace. But to answer your question directly, all
one could say is that if the individual smoked Kent
cigarettes and was exposed to crocidolite in the
workplace, that, in my opinion, both will contribute
to his crocidolite content of his lung, but it would
not be possible to say the relative contribution
between the two."
Did you testify that way?
A. Yes. In 1996, I believe, which I've
testified earlier this morning that that was the last
case I testified for plaintiffs.
Q. Okay. And that is exactly -A. That case.
MR. MAIMON: Can I have the screen up.
Q. That is exactly the quote that I have
there that you gave testimony in 1996. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, I'd like to move on in your
report to the testimony that you gave
about -- withdrawn. I'd like to move on in your
report to the subject of Mr. Argento's work in the
Shulton Company. Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And that is the second paragraph of your
October 3, 2013, report. Correct? October 2, I'm
sorry. No, October 3.
A. October 3 is the copy I have.
Q. All right. The second paragraph. Do

you see that?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And there you state, "It is my
understanding that Mr. Argento was employed by
Shulton Company and American Cyanamid in Clifton, New
Jersey, from 1955 to 1970 as a machine operator,
material handler, and mechanic on the production
floor."
Did I read that correctly?
A. Yes.
Q. You then go on to say, "His job
responsibilities included working with and working
around others using asbestos-containing talc."
Did I read that correctly?
A. Yes.
Q. And those were your words, were they
not?
A. Well, that's what I was asked to assume.
Q. It doesn't say that. It says your
understanding. Correct? "It is my understanding."
That's what you wrote. Right?
A. Yes, but usually in the third paragraph
it says, "assuming this information is correct" then.
For some reason I don't have that statement "assuming
information is correct" in this report.

Argento's work at Shulton and his positions. Right?

using asbestos-containing talc."

the last sentence of your report, you state, do you
not, "Exposure to asbestiform tremolite contaminating
talc may also have been a contributing factor."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, to be fair, the sentence before
that you address his work at Hoffmann-LaRoche.
Right?

applying and removing pipe insulation is a
well-recognized cause of mesothelioma in the United
States."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, in this report, nowhere in this
report do you say that working around or with
insulation at Hoffmann-LaRoche caused Mr. Argento's
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. I probably don't say it directly in this
report. That's correct.
Q. Okay. And with regard to the talc, you
say, "Exposure to asbestiform tremolite-contaminating
talc may also have been a contributing factor."
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And then you cite to an article titled
"Tremolite and Mesothelioma" that you and Drs.
Volmer, Butnor and Sporn published in 2002. Correct?
A. Yes.
(P-135, Marked for Identification.)
Q. Okay. This is Plaintiff's Exhibit 135.
That is exactly the article that you cite to.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And that's your article. Right?
A. It is.
Q. Okay. And in that article you talk
about cases from your database where commercial
amphiboles, amosite or crocidolite, were not found,
but tremolite was found in elevated levels. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And you looked at two possible
sources of where that tremolite came from. One was
chrysotile and the other was talc. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you concluded that the tremolite
that you found in the lungs of those mesothelioma
patients correlated to both coming from chrysotile
and also coming from talc. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, you mentioned earlier
that -- that tremolite can contaminate chrysotile
that comes from Canada. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And it's true, is it not, Dr. Roggli,
that when tremolite contaminates chrysotile that
comes from Canada, the level of contamination

is -- is less than 1 percent. Right?
A. It's estimated between a tenth and 1
percent, yes.
Q. So from .01 to .1. Right? One-tenth of
1 percent up to 1 percent, correct, contamination?
A. Yes.
Q. And despite being at such a low level of
contamination, it's your conclusion that that
tremolite at levels of one-tenth of 1 percent to 1
percent of contamination of chrysotile can cause
mesothelioma in patients exposed to those products.
Right?
A. If they're exposed to a high enough
dose, yes.
Q. Okay. And the same thing would be true
with talc, would it not, that if you have levels of
contamination, the same levels of contamination, a
very low asbestiform content, that contamination can
cause mesothelioma in people exposed to enough of the
product. Right?
A. It could. And I think we reported one
such case. It's Case 10 in Table 3.
Q. Okay.
Now, one of the things that you talk
about when you talk about finding elevated levels of

asbestos in the lung tissues of mesothelioma patients 1
is comparing it to controls. Do you recall that?
2
A. Yes.
3
Q. Okay. And counsel for Lorillard, when
4
he asked you questions, talked about control patients 5
that are not actual patients, are they? They're not
6
patients of yours, are they?
7
A. They were individuals who died at the
8
Durham VA hospital and were autopsied there.
9
Q. Okay. But they're not ongoing people
10
that you take lung tissue out of. They're cases that
11
you have access to their lung pathology and you use 12
that lung pathology as a control group. Right?
13
A. Yes.
14
Q. You would agree with me, wouldn't you,
15
Doctor, that it is important that the control group
16
not have people occupationally exposed to asbestos in 17
it in order to be an adequate control group?
18
A. As much as you can do that, yes.
19
Q. Okay. It's true, is it not, that some
20
of the cases in your control group, you don't know
21
what potential exposures to asbestos they had in the 22
past. Correct?
23
A. True.

control was a gentleman, unfortunately, who suffered 1
from Alzheimer's and wasn't able to give an

occupational history. Correct?
3
A. Correct.
4
Q. And to the extent that that person might
5
have had a significant occupational exposure to
6
asbestos, that would bring your control numbers up.
7
Right?
8
A. It has a potential to do that, but I
9
don't think it did.
10
Q. I understand that. And you also have
11
someone in your control group who served in the U.S. 12
Navy. Correct?
13
A. I have to look back at the study. I
14
don't recall that one.
15
Q. Okay. Let's leave that.
16
All right. In any event, you would
17
agree with me, would you not, Dr. Roggli, that
18
somebody exposed sufficiently to talc contaminated 19
with tremolite asbestos could develop a mesothelioma 20
as a result of that? Correct?
21
A. Yes.
22
Q. And that would be at the levels that you
23
found applicable for exposure to chrysotile
24
contaminated with tremolite. Correct?
25
Page 5029
A. I have no idea what the level of
contamination was in that one case we reported.
Q. Okay. I'm not talking about the one
case. I'm talking about chrysotile, chrysotile
contaminated, as far as you know, with tremolite at
about a tenth to 1 percent. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And that level of contamination is not
too small to contribute to somebody's mesothelioma,
is it?
A. If they have sufficient doses of
exposure to chrysotile, that's correct.
Q. Okay.
(P-136, Marked for Identification.)
Q. I'm also going to hand up to you what I
marked as Plaintiff's Exhibit 136, and this is
another article that you authored. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And the title of this article is
Asbestos-related diseases -- "Asbestos-Related
Disease Associated With Exposure to Asbestiform
Tremolite."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And you published this in 1994.
Page 5030
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And you see on the bottom there's
an exhibit tab, Roggli 7. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And that indicates that that was marked
at one of your depositions. Right?
A. I think it's been marked at several
depositions, but this was from one of them, yes.
Q. Okay. And if we can take a look at
this, on page 2 -- or at the bottom of page 1, it
says, "Although tremolite is not mined commercially,
it is a common contaminant of other mineral deposits,
such as chrysotile asbestos, vermiculite, and talc."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. It then goes on to say a sentence later,
"Additionally, some end products contain these
minerals, such as cosmetic talc or spackling compound
which contains chrysotile and may present a potential
source of tremolite exposure."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. It was your understanding that Mr.
Argento was working in a facility at Shulton that was

making cosmetic talc products. Correct?
A. That's my understanding, yes.
Q. Okay. Go down to the first full
paragraph, where it says "Collectively." Do you see
that?
A. Yes.
Q. It says, "Collectively, these studies
suggest that tremolite asbestos exposure represents a
potential health risk, not only to miners and
manufacturers of tremolite-contaminated mineral
products, but also to those exposed to
tremolite-contaminated end products." Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And that's the same subject that you
addressed in the 2002 article, "Tremolite and
Mesothelioma," that the tremolite asbestos coming
from the end products, whether they be chrysotile or
talc can cause mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Turn to page 817 of the article. The
second full paragraph that starts "Women."
Do you see that?

16
A. Yes.
17
Q. And then at the bottom sentence of
18
the -- of the page says, "Furthermore, the finding of 19
relatively modest elevations of tremolite content in
20
some of our mesothelioma cases suggests to us that at 21
least for some susceptible individuals moderate
22
exposures to tremolite-contaminated dust can produce 23
malignant pleural mesothelioma."
24
Did I read that correctly?
25
A. Yes.
Q. And, in fact, it's true, is it not, Dr.
Roggli, that you have written urging doctors not to
use talc for pleurodesis -- for a pleurodesis in
patients with nonmalignant pleural effusions. Right?
A. Correct.
(P-137, Marked for Identification.)
Q. And 137, Plaintiff's P-137 is exactly
that letter to the editor that you wrote. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. You wrote it together with Dr. Andrew
Ghio, is it?
A. Yes.
Q. From the United States Environmental
Protection Agency. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. And you urged here that talc should not
be used for pleurodesis in patients with nonmalignant
pleural effusions. Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And you'll agree I put a good picture of
you on the screen there?
A. It's not bad.
Q. Not bad. Okay. And you say that on the
bottom of the left-hand side, "Talc is not a uniform
Page 5034
substance and varies significantly in size and
chemical composition with the latter depending on
geologic origin."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. You go on to say, "This sheet silicate
can be contaminated by asbestos." Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. "And an association between
carcinogenesis and exposure to asbestos included in
talc appears credible."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And, in fact, later on in this
letter to the editor you indicate here that even if a
product is, quote unquote, asbestos free, it still
shouldn't be used to put in people's bodies because
the mechanism of cancer induced by asbestos is
similarly pertinent to talc.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And it's true, is it not, that in
addition to asbestos causing pleural plaques, talc
can cause pleural plaques.
A. Well, in that regard we talk about that

in Chapter 6 of my textbook, that some of the first
cases of pleural plaques were found in talc miners,
but we believe that was from contaminated tremolite.
Q. Okay. Good enough.
Now, again, if -- and let's go back to
your report in this case. The information that you
had when you wrote your report, you had -- withdrawn.
The information that you had about Mr. Argento's work
at Shulton is contained in your report. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you accepted exposure to asbestiform
tremolite contaminating talc as a potential
contributing factor to his mesothelioma. Correct?
A. For the purposes of this report and
assuming that it was correct that the talc he was
exposed to was contaminated by asbestos, then yes.
Q. And that is what you stated your
understanding was at the time. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And if it was contaminated with
asbestos, that talc that he was working with on the
levels that you published upon in "Tremolite and
Mesothelioma" and he was exposed to it as he
described, then it would be your opinion, more likely
than not, that that was a contributing factor to his

mesothelioma.
MR. DUNST: Objection, your Honor.
THE COURT: Don't answer. Sidebar.
(At sidebar.)
MR. DUNST: Your Honor, this goes back
to my initial objection. My initial objection is
that nowhere in Dr. Roggli's report does he indicate
that based upon a reasonable degree of medical
probability that my talc was a substantial
contributing factor to the mesothelioma. He doesn't
say it in his report. He didn't say it in the one
question that was asked by Mr. Cedillo. To now be
able to go into this when it's not disclosed in the
report ever, I think it's inappropriate.
And this is the reason I objected before
because I knew that we were going to get to this
point, and I don't think any of this should have been
permitted for the reasons I've indicated. Because I
know that we're going in this direction. He never
said that it was a substantial contributing factor.
He said it "may." That's like a possibility. It
shouldn't have been allowed, and this shouldn't be
allowed, either.
THE COURT: Thank you.
MR. MAIMON: I think this is appropriate
cross-examination. He was called as the expert for
the defense by Lorillard and H&V to discuss the
causation in this case. He mentioned one product
that he says that he believes was a cause. He
mentioned one that he believes wasn't a cause. And
he said, "I don't have enough information. I don't
have any information about the others."
We now know that he really does. He said
it in his report. And so if the information that he
had is correct, then that was also a contributing
cause and that is perfectly appropriate
cross-examination.
The issue was raised by counsel for
Lorillard on direct examination. And even if it
wasn't, your Honor, I've been sitting at counsel
table many a times when a defendant wants to go
through all of Dr. Moline's causation opinions with
regard to every product. And it's in her report, and
it's in his report, and it may -- so that means there
are circumstances in which it would be and
circumstances where it might not be, and that's what
I'm exploring with him.
MR. DUNST: Your Honor, there's a
significant difference in Dr. Moline's report.
Dr. Moline indicated that those were, in fact,

substantial contributing factors. She said they were
substantial contributing factors based upon a
reasonable degree of medical certainty.
Nowhere did Dr. Roggli ever say that in
the report. It has not been disclosed. And for
Mr. Maimon to be able to go into it now I think is
inappropriate because it's not been disclosed in his
report.
If this was all -- if what is contained
in the report is all that Dr. Roggli said, that would
not be permitted to come in if Mr. Cedillo wanted to
put it in because I would have objected to it at that
point because it's not based upon probabilities. He
says it "may." Anything may. Anything is possible.
That's not sufficient under the standards of New
Jersey law.
Now -- now Mr. Maimon is trying to do the
same thing which couldn't be done if Mr. Cedillo
tried to do it because it's not -- it's not
adequately worded. It doesn't go to the standard
that we have in New Jersey. And -- and I think it's
important to stress the difference between
Dr. Moline, because Dr. Moline in her report, she did
say that each of those were substantial contributing
factors, and she said that that was based upon

reasonable medical probability. There's a big
difference.
And we're now getting to the point, which
is why I objected before because I knew that we were
going to get here, and none of this should be
permitted.
THE COURT: Thank you.
As I indicated previously, The Court's
ruling, this did come up by way of direct, and the
cross-examination goes into that, as well as issues
of credibility. So I'm still allowing it, and you
can cross-examine on it. Thank you.
(End of sidebar.)
THE COURT: You can answer that
question. The objection is overruled.
Q. You don't remember the question, do you?
A. No, if you could repeat it or read it
back.
Q. Okay. Let me try it again.
If the talc that Mr. Argento was working
with and around in Shulton was, as your understanding
was in your report, contaminated with asbestos, and
if it was contaminated with asbestos at a level that
you assumed in your "Tremolite and Mesothelioma"
article that chrysotile can be contaminated with

tremolite and cause mesothelioma, then that, on a
more-likely-than-not basis, would have significantly
contributed to his mesothelioma. Correct?
A. I thought you were going to ask would be
a potential exposure, which I would have said yes;
but when you said now more likely than not, I'm
trying to think if I have enough information to say
so, because I haven't really been asked to look
closely at his talc exposures.
Q. Well, take a look at the last quote on
the screen: "Exposure to asbestiform tremolite
containing talc may also have been a contributing
factor."
A. Yes, I agree with that.
Q. You acknowledge that you don't even have
to think about it being a potential exposure. Right?
A. Right.
Q. Because you put that in your report.
Right?
A. Right.
Q. And if he was exposed in the way that he
described that you talked about in your report and
that you reviewed in his deposition, and if the level
of contamination was on the level of contamination
that you have found tremolite asbestos to contaminate
chrysotile and cause mesothelioma, then that
was -- would have been, more likely than not, a
significant contributing cause of his mesothelioma.
Correct?
A. Yeah. Typically, I would add to that,
and would result in a level of tremolite in the lungs
above background since that's what my reports that
we're talking about have focused upon, it would be,
yes.
Q. All right. And as we said, when the
surgeons operated on Mr. Argento, they didn't take
lung tissue. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. And taking lung tissue was not
necessary or important for his care and treatment,
was it?
A. That's my understanding.
Q. Okay. And so that there was no reason
from a medical point of view to take any lung tissue
from Mr. Argento. Correct?
A. Not that I'm aware of.
Q. Okay.
Let's talk about Kent cigarettes.
You testified at trial once that a
gentleman's mesothelioma was caused by his smoking of

Kent cigarettes. Correct?
A. The last time I testified to that was in
1996 or 1997, yes.
Q. At trial. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And that was the case of Mr. Roth.
Correct?
A. No. That was the case of Mr. Lesnick in
Philadelphia was the last one. Roth was prior to
Lesnick.
Q. Okay. So the first trial was Mr. Roth.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And it's true, is it not, that at
that time you listed six reasons why you believe that
his mesothelioma was caused by his smoking of Kent
cigarettes. And I've listed those on the board.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. So some of these you spoke about
with Mr. Cedillo, but I'd like to talk about all of
them.
The first is the diagnostic findings of
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.

MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, can we
approach?
THE COURT: Sure.
(At sidebar.)
MR. CEDILLO: Number 6, your Honor, is
the Talcott study.
THE COURT: I didn't even read that far.
MR. CEDILLO: Yeah, that's why I
objected before we got there. You've ruled that the
Talcott is out, and I certainly didn't go into any of
that. I stayed away from the things that are out so
that I wouldn't be opening them up here, and now he's
going into them.
MR. MAIMON: Well, I absolutely intend
on going into it.
THE COURT: What did you say? You
absolutely intend?
MR. MAIMON: Intend on going into it.

MR. MAIMON: No. Because I want your
Honor to hear his testimony about it. And then I
think that your Honor will hear that this expert has
testified in the past under oath, and he's testified
since he's been working for Kent that his opinions
haven't changed in this regard, and your Honor didn't
hear that his opinions changed in this regard.
THE COURT: Why didn't you bring it out
when we argued the motion on Talcott?
So his testimony for plaintiffs on Kent
cigarettes was in 1997. The issue of the Talcott
studies was out there. He has said that he testified
since consistently now for the defendant. Why didn't
you bring that out when we argued the Talcott motion?
MR. MAIMON: I think I did, and it was a
different issue with regard to talc. It was an issue
about whether or not we could argue that -- about the
Talcott study for purposes of opening statements
about whether or not the H&V -- let me make my
proffer, your Honor.
This expert has testified both for
plaintiffs, but then when he's testified for
Lorillard and Kent he hasn't changed his opinion on
the significance of it. That the -- that the
mesothelioma experienced in both H&V and Lorillard is
an important factor in his opinion about the ability
to cause mesothelioma.
In fact, he has said, and I have his
testimony, that when you have mesothelioma in a
manufacturing setting, exposure to that product,
assuming that there's respirable asbestos, he accepts
that that is a cause -- that that is supportive of
his opinion that that product causes mesothelioma.
THE COURT: Because we are not in a
manufacturing setting, is why it's not in this case.
So take number six out. I didn't let them get into
it. I mean, we've already had this motion.
MR. MAIMON: The other aspect of it,
your Honor, is as follows: He testified on direct
examination that crocidolite is more potent than
other forms of asbestos. He uses the Talcott study
and the other information to say that the crocidolite
asbestos that went into the Lorillard cigarettes was
the most -- even more potent than regular crocidolite
asbestos, and he uses all these statistics. So I
think that it's absolutely important and vital that
we be able to explore this witness' testimony. It's
not only regular crocidolite, but the crocidolite
that went into their product according to Dr. Roggli
is even more potent based on that data.

And if I'm not able to explore his
opinions on that, your Honor, how can I adequately
argue to the jury what the basis of that, you know,
changing this assumption here versus that assumption
there is important when I'm not able to explore all
of the bases for his opinion, especially ones that
haven't changed? His opinion up through a year or
two ago when he made a presentation -- I have a slide
on this -- his presentation about the experience in
the filter setting shows that this crocidolite is
more potent than any other.
MR. CEDILLO: For a factory worker
working with the product in the manufacturing stage.
Mr. Argento didn't ever do any of that, your Honor.
That's all the same reasons why it got taken out.
And I mean -- and your Honor, I mean, I object to the
way that this is being done.
THE COURT: So do I.
MR. CEDILLO: I certainly wanted you to
hear that the reason he thinks Longo is junk science
is because he knows that he published -- I'm
sorry -- that he conducted testing that got 1/20th of
the result that he published.
THE COURT: Um-hum, yeah.
MR. CEDILLO: And he had it and he chose

not to put it in there.
THE COURT: I understand.
MR. CEDILLO: And I certainly would want
that to be heard.
THE COURT: Thank you.
Anything further?
MR. MAIMON: Yes, your Honor.
He testified on direct examination that
there were maybe three bases for his opinion about
Kents when he was pro plaintiff. That's not true.
There's a lot more. And it wasn't a factor for him
to say that the potency of this crocidolite was
because it was in the manufacturing setting. He
believes that this particular type of crocidolite is
more potent than normal crocidolite. It has nothing
to do with whether it's in a manufacturing facility.
THE COURT: Okay. All right. I'm ready
to rule.
So I previously heard a motion with
regard to the Talcott studies. At that point in time
I ruled that we are not going to get into it because
it dealt with exposure in the workplace.
Having ruled that, you had the
information then with regard to the entirety of his
testimony since switching sides on the Kent issue

Q. Okay. Dr. Roggli, in the Roth case you
16
testified that you confirmed the diagnosis of
17
mesothelioma. Correct?
18
A. Yes.
19
Q. It was also important to you that there
20
was pleural plaques formation in the Roth case.
21
Correct?
22
A. Yes.
23
Q. It was also important to you that the
analysis had been done on some of Mr. Roth's biopsy 24
25
tissue and found amphiboles. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And it was important to you and a basis
for your opinion that Kent contained crocidolite when
Mr. Roth smoked them. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And it was also important to you that
scientific studies showed crocidolite released from
Kents during smoking. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, with regard to Mr. Argento,
it's true, is it not, that you confirmed the
diagnosis of mesothelioma? Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. It's true, is it not, that Mr. Argento
had pleural plaque formation? Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And nobody looked for any amphiboles in
his tissue. Correct?
A. Yes, no analysis was done.
Q. Okay. Now, the tissue that was looked
at in the Roth case was not lung tissue like you've
been talking to this jury about, but it was his
pleural tumor tissue. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And you found it significant that
Page 5050
there was crocidolite asbestos found in his tumor
tissue, did you not?
A. Yeah. I'm not sure whether it was tumor
tissue or just pleural tissue, but I think it was Dr.
Longo's lab that did the analysis and I assumed that
it was correct.
Q. And you relied on that. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. We'll talk about Dr. Longo in a bit.
You, yourself, have analyzed pleural tissue in
mesothelioma patients in the past. Correct?
A. Well, one occasion I think I was asked
to do so by a physician.
Q. David Kern. Does that ring a bell?
A. Yeah, I think it was Dr. Kern. And we
did it because we were asked to do so, and we
determined it was not -- I could not determine it
was.
Q. And you found asbestos in the pleural
tissue that you looked at. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. You found chrysotile asbestos in the
tissue that you looked at. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. You could have looked at Mr. Argento's

pleural tissue. Correct?

Q. It says, "Finally, Mr. Argento claims to
have smoked Kent cigarettes with the Micronite filter
at the rate of at least a pack and a half per day
from 1953 to 1956." Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And that would be at a time when those
filters contain asbestos. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you are aware, are you not, of
scientific studies showing the release of crocidolite
from Kents during smoking? Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, you mentioned that this was
in the Roth case and that there was a subsequent case
to Roth. It was called Lesnick. Right?
A. Lesnick. Yes.
Q. And you have the transcript of your
deposition in front of you. Right?

Mr. Lesnick's mesothelioma was caused by him smoking
Kent cigarettes?
A. Yes.
Q. You mention there that crocidolite is
the most potent form of asbestos in causing
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. One of the things that is important is
the thinness of the fiber. Correct?
A. That's part of it. It's the overall
aspect ratio and durability that's important.
Q. Okay. And crocidolite is -- when you
say aspect ratio, you mean how long it is comparing
to how thin it is. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And crocidolite asbestos is a
long, thin fiber. Correct?
A. Typically, yes.
Q. Okay. Sometimes it can be so thin that
it can escape detection in the microscope that you
use in your laboratory. Correct?
A. Sometimes.
Q. Okay. And when you -- so crocidolite is
the most potent form of asbestos in causing
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Most potent, yes.
Q. Okay. And there are different types of
crocidolite from different parts of the world.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And is it your opinion that the
crocidolite that was used in the Kent cigarettes was
a particularly potent type of crocidolite?
A. I think so.
Q. Okay. So that on the -- on the grades
of crocidolite, there are some that are more potent
and some that are less potent, even within
crocidolite, itself. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And it's your opinion that the
crocidolite used in Kent cigarettes was a
particularly potent type of crocidolite. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you're aware, are you not, that one
of the reasons that the crocidolite asbestos was put
into the Kent cigarette filters was because of the
thinness of it? Were you aware of that?
A. I was aware because of its

absorbability, its ability to absorb to its surface
and makes it more act as a filtering agent.
Q. If Lorillard put up an expert that said
that it was the very, very thinness of those fibers
that made it a good filtering material, you'd accept
that, wouldn't you?
A. I have no reason to disagree with it.
Q. Okay. And you testified at that time
that there were scientific studies that have
demonstrated the release of fibers from smoking Kent
cigarettes. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And in that case you made an estimate,
like you told the jury earlier, about the amount of
crocidolite asbestos that would be in the lung tissue
of a Kent smoker. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you talked about in that case animal
studies demonstrating the propensity of crocidolite
to reach the pleura. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you also talked about having relied
on the identification of crocidolite fibers in tissue
samples of Kent smokers with mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Where is that?

Q. Page 9, lines 10 through 15.
A. Okay.
Q. You see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And you also relied on the fact
that in your opinion the background or ambient level
of crocidolite in the air is zero. Right?
A. Essentially, yes.
Q. Okay. And then your own -- you relied
on your own semiquantitative epidemiologic study of
women with mesothelioma related to the percentage of
women with mesothelioma who smoked Kents compared to
Kent's market share for the relative years. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. So I've put on the board all of
those that we just talked about. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Let's talk about them one by one.
Crocidolite is the most potent form of
asbestos in causing mesothelioma. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And when you have talked about that in
the past, you referred to the Hodgson and Darnton
article which says that crocidolite is 500 times more
potent than chrysotile. Correct?

A. Yes.
Q. And Berman and Crump, who you talked
about earlier, have given estimates that crocidolite
may be a thousand times more potent than chrysotile.
Correct?
A. Yeah, I think that their numbers are 700
to 800 times, yes.
Q. Okay. We'll fix that.
The crocidolite that was used in the
Kent cigarettes, would those be more towards the 7 or
800 times or would those be more towards the 500
times?
A. Well, I don't think you can use the 7 or
800 times from Berman and Crump because they're based
on electron microscopy and based on fibers that are
10 microns or greater in length. And so there's no
data on that.
So what we have is basically the Hodgson
and Darnton phase contrast microscopy, so that's what
we have to rely upon.
Q. Okay. So that dealt with a whole host
of people exposed to crocidolite asbestos and given
an average of relative potency. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. So that average would have some
lower and some higher. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And the crocidolite in the Kents, how
much more potent relative to chrysotile would they
be?
A. I would use the 500 times potency number
for that.
Q. Okay. Now, scientific studies
demonstrating the release of fibers from smoking
Kents. Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And at that time you relied on various
studies that had been done, the Fullam studies, the
Revere studies, something you called the OCF test,
the Pauley article, and the Longo article. Right?
A. Yes.
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, I'm going to
object. The only thing I covered -- sorry.
THE COURT: Sidebar.
(At sidebar.)
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, it exceeds the
scope, except for Longo. I didn't ask him about any
of the others. I could have. I did it on purpose
because I wanted to cut it down completely. It
exceeds the scope.

MR. MAIMON: The scope of
cross-examination is in the subject area. The fact
that he chose not to talk about tests that showed the
release of asbestos fibers that this expert has
relied upon in the past was his choice. It doesn't
limit me from going into the fact that he has
testified in the past that they were reliable and on
the basis of him saying that asbestos can cause
mesothelioma.
MR. CEDILLO: I will redirect him on
those topics. Okay?
THE COURT: Absolutely.
MR. CEDILLO: Okay.
THE COURT: All right. Let's continue.
After you finish this slide, we're going
to take the break.
MR. MAIMON: Do you want to take it now?
Because this subject area will take a little bit.
THE COURT: Okay. That's fine.
(End of sidebar.)
THE COURT: Members of the jury, we're
going to take our 15-minute break now so I don't
interrupt this line of testimony later on.
So remember to leave your notebooks here.

MR. MAIMON: Thank you.
Q. Doctor, we are at number 3 with regard
to scientific studies that you testified in the
Lesnick case had demonstrated release of fibers from
smoking Kents. Do you recall that?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And the first mention up there is
the Fullam studies. Do you recall those?
A. Yes.
Q. And, in fact, in 1996 and 1997, when you
were testifying that Kents caused mesothelioma, you
were aware of those studies, were you not?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And one of the things that you

had actually seen is you had actually seen the
photomicrographs of the crocidolite fibers that were
released from the Kent cigarettes taken in
Dr. Fullam's laboratory. Correct?
A. The electron micrographs.
Q. The electron micrographs.
And you relied on that finding as part
of the bases for your opinion at the time. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you saw large numbers of electron
micrographs with those fibers. Correct?
A. There were several, yes.
Q. Okay. You also made reference at that
time to the studies of Althea Revere which showed
asbestos released from smoking Kent cigarettes.
Correct?
A. Maybe. I don't recall that.
Q. Okay. There's something -- they are
called OCF. Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And at that time you relied on a test
that had been done where the filter of a Kent
cigarette or a Kent cigarette was tapped on some
glass, and crocidolite fibers were released; and it
was your opinion that what that tells you is that the
fibers aren't packed all that tight into the filter
which means that fibers might be released if you
smoke the cigarettes which you would have to
demonstrate such as the case that was done by Fullam,
Revere, and Dr. Longo's laboratory. Do you recall
giving that testimony?
A. Yes.
Q. In addition, there was the article by
Dr. Pauley. Dr. Cummings was here earlier in the
trial and he gave some testimony about that. But
that was study that you had reviewed, a published
study, that showed that filtered cigarettes are
capable of disintegrating during smoking and
releasing fibers of various types. Do you recall
that?
A. Yes.
Q. And you relied on that in those cases.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And it was your testimony at that
time, wasn't it, that you can't look at -- even
though Pauley wasn't looking at Kent cigarettes or
cigarettes that had asbestos filters, you can't look
at Pauley in isolation, that you have to look at
Fullam, you have to look at Revere, and you have to

look at the OCF study, and you have to look at what
Dr. Longo did. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And then you also take into
consideration Dr. Longo's published article in 1995
in Cancer Research titled, "Crocidolite Asbestos
Fibers in Smoke From Original Kent Cigarettes." And
you have that up there with you. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. If you can get that out.
You know Dr. Longo. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you two have published together,
have you not?
A. We have.
Q. In fact, the jury has seen me hold this
book up before, The Third Wave of Asbestos Disease,
Exposure to Asbestos in Place. And there's an
article in here, "Mineral Fiber Content of Lung
Tissue in Patients With Environmental Exposures,
Household Context Versus Building Occupants," by
Victor L. Roggli and William E. Longo. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And this is one of the things that the
two of you have published together. Correct?

Honor?

into his assessment of Dr. Longo on whether he's a
junk scientist or not, or anything else. He's now
going into building up Longo because you guys know
each other and you've done this and done that.
I want to make it very clear that I
consider this opening the door, and I'm going to go
in and ask him what he thinks of Dr. Longo because he
is bringing out that Longo is an expert in material

sciences. I wasn't allowed to go into that at all,
and now counsel is opening that door.
THE COURT: I didn't allow you to go
into the unpublished studies of Longo. That's what I
didn't allow you to do. Certainly now that
plaintiff's counsel has said you consider him an
expert in -MR. CEDILLO: Material scientist.
THE COURT: -- material scientist, on
redirect, if you have anything with regard to him not
being an expert in that area, that's fine.
MR. CEDILLO: Thank you. I'll go into
that. All right. It's open.
THE COURT: And any other areas -MR. MAIMON: I don't know that counsel's
idea of what door has been opened is the same as the
Court's.
THE COURT: If there's any information
out there that counsel wishes to use that would go
into the issue of whether or not Dr. Longo is not an
expert in that area -MR. MAIMON: I guess we'll cross that
bridge when we get to it.
THE COURT: -- or any other areas.
MR. MAIMON: I was just concerned, your
Honor, with Mr. Cedillo proclaiming that the door is
open to do -- how he wants to do whatever he wants.
THE COURT: Hey, let's not do that. All
right? It's late in the day and it's a Monday. Can
we just like get to it already? All right.
(End of sidebar.)
THE COURT: Don't ask Dr. Longo that
question again.
MR. MAIMON: I won't ask Dr. Longo
again.
Q. You consider Dr. Longo to be a qualified
analyst. Correct?
A. A materials analysis scientist, yes.
Q. And careful scientist. Correct?
A. Most of the time.
Q. Okay. You're familiar with his 1995
article. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And in previous testimony you've relied
upon it in offering opinions. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. In fact, you were asked this particular
question in 19 -- I think it was -- yes, 1996, at the
Roth trial. "Dr. Roggli, in fact, what conclusions
did you rely upon from" -- I'm sorry.

"Dr. Roggli, in fact, what conclusions do
you rely upon from Dr. Longo in regard the ability of
the Kent cigarettes to release asbestos fibers?"
And you say, "Well, Dr. Longo's
quantitative studies and the earlier qualitative
studies indicates that the third point, crocidolite
fibers are released from Kent cigarettes during the
smoking process."
Did I read that correctly?
A. Yes.
Q. And when you're talking about the
earlier qualitative studies, you were talking about
Fullam, Revere, and OCF. Correct?
A. Let's go back to that statement.
Q. Qualitative studies. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, you have the article with you?
A. Yes.
Q. Dr. Roggli here talks about the testing
that he did. Do you see that under "Treatments and
Smoking"?
A. Dr. Longo?
Q. I'm sorry. Dr. Longo -- this article
talks about the testing that was done. Right?
A. Yes.

Q. Okay. It says, "Two puffs were taken
from each of nine cigarettes." Right?
A. Trying to check what sentence you're
reading there. Oh, yeah, I got it.
Q. Okay? It says, "Before insertion into
the smoker, three of the cigarette filters were
rolled and three were pinched and then the remaining
three were not manipulated prior to insertion into
the apparatus."
Did I read that correctly?
A. Yes.
Q. He then says one sentence down, "After
lighting, the plunger was pulled to 30 plus or minus
milliliters within one to two seconds, and the
cigarette was extinguished by capping with a
preformed aluminum foil snuffer."
And did I read that correctly.
A. Yes.
Q. And milliliter, ml, is the same as a cc.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And so to simulate one puff he pulled 30
cc's. Right?
A. Yes.

A. I think it dealt with that issue, yes.
Q. And this does not say anything about
sonication, this talks about shaking the vial of
liquid. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. By the way, the tissue digestion
and analysis of asbestos fibers from the lung tissue
that you do is also an indirect preparation method.
Correct?
A. In what sense?
Q. Well, the tissues -- the asbestos fibers
aren't directly onto a filter. You -- you soak them
in bleach in order to get rid of the organic
material. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And then you take a solution of that and
put it onto your grids. Right?
A. We actually dissolve the tissue in
bleach and then all that bleach goes through onto the
filter.
Q. Okay. So that's not originally -- my
point is it's not originally on the filter. Right?
A. What's not originally on the filter?
Q. The tissue.
A. You can't put the tissue directly onto a

about what he did after he got the puff out. "The
puff residue inside the smoker was prepared and
examined as follows: The plunger was reinserted.
The syringe assembly was filled with 20 millimeters
of deionized distilled H2O, capped with paraffin,
hand shaken, and allowed to stand for 30 minutes."
Did I read that correctly?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. "And then after standing, the
syringes were hand shaken, filled with 30 millimeters
with deionized distilled H2O, and then the contents
were pulled through a 30-millimeter filter."
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And that is that consistent with
what you testified earlier that the smoking was not
directly onto a filter, but it was washed out and
then put onto a filter which would indicate an
indirect preparation method. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Now, you're aware, are you not, that the
writings by Berman and Crump about the indirect prep
method were dealing with high-intensity sonication,
wherein you're sonicating materials that might be in
clusters of asbestos? Right?

filter.
Q.
A.
Q.
I understand that.
Yeah.
Okay. Good.
Dr. Longo did use controls and blanks,
did he not?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And Dr. Longo, in the last page
of the article, left-hand side, first full paragraph
says, "Our data probably underestimate the amount of
crocidolite released in an actual smoking situation
for three reasons."
Do you see that?
A. Which page is that?
Q. 2235.
A. Yeah, I see that.
Q. Okay. And then he gives the three
reasons as A, B, and C. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. A was These tests only smoke -- "These
tests examined only smoke from the first two puffs,
and there was still substantial release of asbestos
during the second puff."
Did I read that correctly?
A. Yes.

Q. In fact, Dr. Roggli estimated -- I'm
sorry. "Dr. Longo estimated that the asbestos from
the first two puffs of the cigarette represented less
than .001 percent of the crocidolite that was in the
filter." Correct? I'm reading on 2234, top of the
right-hand side.
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. In any event, this was only from
two puffs, correct, his data?
A. Yes.
Q. Go to 2235, B, "The numbers given in
conformance with EPA counting rules reflect
structures and not fibers." Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And that's those aggregates that you
talked about earlier this morning. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And now he says here that overall 18.7
percent of the structures were aggregates rather than
individual fibers. Right?
A. Yes.

percentage of those -- withdrawn.

Q. And these are the -- that's the
crocidolite that he found. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And there are fibers and there
are clusters there. Right?
A. Well, I mean, that's pretty much stuck
together. You would have to say the whole thing is a
cluster.
Q. So you're saying that all of this is
stuck together?
A. That's what it looks like from the
picture. All the fibers are touching each other. I
don't see any fiber sitting out free from the rest of
the group.
Q. Do you know how they are together? This
is on a -- magnified 3000 times. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And this is a picture on the filter.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you know whether or not these are one
fiber or fibers laid one over the other or whether or
not they're actually stuck together?
A. They look like they're stuck together.

of the lungs?
A. About 5 microns.
Q. Okay. You have no idea what percentage
of that 18.7 percent were larger than 5 microns in
diameter, do you?
A. True.
Q. Okay. Here he talks about those
aggregates being sometimes three, and oftentimes
hundreds of fibers. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And so out of -- so we know that
for 81.3 percent of what he found, those were fibers
and not structures. Correct? By doing reverse math.
A. Yes, by his indirect method, that's
correct.
Q. Okay. And out of that 18.7 percent, you
have no idea how many of them would be above or below
5 microns in diameter. Correct?
A. Yeah. Again, certainly, he can say from
Figure 4 above there that there is a 10-micron bar,
and that cluster there is hugely bigger than 5
microns in diameter.
Q. Do you know what -- can I have the Elmo,
please? That's the picture you're referring to.

I can't say with 100 percent certainty.
MR. MAIMON: Let's go back to the desk,
please.
Q. Now, you also talked about making
estimates of crocidolite burdens in the lung tissue.
Do you recall that?
A. Yes.
Q. And what you did back then is you
started with Dr. Longo's numbers of 132 million
fibers for one pack per day for a year. You applied
the 65 percent. You applied a half-life. And then
you used the dry weight of the lung as an average.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, when you do your lung
digestions, I just want to make sure we're clear,
you're not looking at the whole lung, are you?
A. No.
Q. In fact, when you do a lung burden study
and you're looking at someone's lungs, you're not
looking at 99.95 percent of the person's total lung
tissue, are you?
A. 99.95?
Q. 99.95.

Q. 138 is your trial testimony on
September 21, 2015. Is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And this was in a case in Pennsylvania.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And if you take a look at page 127.
A. I'm there.
Q. Line 22.
"QUESTION: So when you do a lung burden
study and you're not -- your look at someone's lung
tissue, you're not looking at 99.95 percent of that
person's total lung tissue. Correct?"
And your answer was, "Correct." Right?
A. Yeah, based on the line before I said
it's about .5 percent, and that would be true, yes.
Q. Okay. And so when you take a look
at -- and you told us you bleach it and then you
count the asbestos fibers there. Do you recall that?
A. Yes.
Q. You count a certain number of fibers on
a grid. Right?
A. Certain number of fields or certain

number of fibers, whichever comes first.
Q. Okay. And the numbers that you count
aren't the total number of asbestos fibers in the
lung. Right?
A. Correct.
Q. You extrapolate in order to get what you
consider to be the total number of asbestos fibers in
the lung. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, you also have testified in
the past, haven't you, Doctor, that there's a
difference -- or there was a difference in your mind
between looking at, like, an occupational setting
where somebody is in an atmosphere that might have
some asbestos in it and somebody actually putting a
Kent cigarette, filtered cigarette to their mouth and
breathing it in directly as far as the ability to
deposit particles and asbestos in the lung. Right?
A. Yes. I think I agreed there might be
some differences there.
Q. And you've stated that, "All that I can
say is that as opposed to breathing asbestos in a
workplace situation where a number of people are
sharing the same air and some of the fibers are
breathed by different individuals, some of the fibers
fall onto the floor, some of the fibers remain
unbreathed in the air, that any fibers that would be
released from a filter in a smoking product would be
deposited directly into the lungs."
That was your testimony at the time.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you said, "And clearance, that would
probably follow the same clearance pattern that you
see for crocidolite once it's deposited from any
other source." Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And you have the same testimony. You
haven't changed your mind about that, have you?
Crocidolite clears from the lung at the same rate and
in the same way no matter whether or not it comes
from a Kent cigarette or from an asbestos in a pipe.
Right?
A. That's correct.
Q. Okay.
Now, you said that the -- the change in
your opinion about depositing and clearing came from
a Berman and Crump publication? Right?
A. I believe so.
Q. Now, you know, don't you, that Berman

and Crump, their work for the EPA has been rejected
by the EPA. Correct?
A. A bin model based upon their analysis,
which was not -- actually, the bin model was not made
by Berman and Crump, but by someone else, was
rejected by the EPA, yes.
Q. Okay. And Berman and Crump have
consulted for the asbestos industry, especially Kenny
Crump, over many decades. Is that correct?
A. I don't know about his consultation
history.
Q. Are you aware that he testified in front
of OSHA on behalf of the Asbestos Information
Association, a trade group that was opposing OSHA
regulations in 1972?
A. I may have heard that one time. I don't
recall, as I sit here today.
Q. Okay. Their numbers -- and they're
talking about depositing of asbestos in the
lungs -- was not dealing with a situation where
you're breathing it directly from a filtered
cigarette. That was occupational settings. Correct?
A. Yeah. I don't think -- I don't recall
them dealing with the issue of breathing straight
from a cigarette, no.

Q. Okay. You have relied in the past of
animal studies that show that within ten days after
initial exposure crocidolite reaches the pleural
space in animal studies. Correct?
A. Yes. That was -- I think we had a
three-week exposure, and then within ten days after
the end of that exposure we identified crocidolite in
the pleural space, yes.
Q. Okay. And that was one of the bases for
your opinion when you testified that exposure to
Kent -- crocidolite asbestos from Kents could cause
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And then you relied on
identification of crocidolite fibers in tissue
samples of people who had smoked Kents with
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yeah. There's -- there were three
cases, apparently, that I don't -- that -- the Brown
case, I think, was one that I analyzed and did not
find any crocidolite.
Q. Right.
A. The Roth case was one that Dr. -Q. Longo.
A. Dr. Longo, yes.

Q. I got it right.

crocidolite, a crocidolite fiber, at least a
3
crocidolite fiber in the pleural tissues.
4
And then the Szymczak case, I think, one
5
that Dr. Churg analyzed, and I don't know if that was 6
smoking only or if there was also occupational
7
exposure in that case.
8
Q. In any event, you were
9
asked by -- talked about the cross-examination by the 10
lawyers for Lorillard. Do you recall that?
11
A. Yes.
12
Q. And you were asked by them in deposition 13
that even if you, yourself, did digestion on five
14
former Kent smokers with mesothelioma and failed to 15
find elevated crocidolite levels, whether you could
16
exclude Kents as a causative factor in the next case 17
that came to you. Do you recall that?
18
A. In 1996?
19
Q. Yes.
20
A. I don't recall that specific question,
21
no.
22
Q. Okay.
23
(P-139, Marked for Identification.)
24
Q. I'm giving you your deposition testimony
25
from the Roth case. Do you recognize that?
A. Yes.
Q. And if you take a look at page 249.
Actually, it starts -- yes, 249. You were asked,
"How many cases would you need to see, how many cases
of individuals, how many individuals would you need
to see in which it was claimed that they smoked this
cigarette and in which it was claimed that it
released asbestos and which it was claimed that it
caused or contributed to causing the disease before
you would be reasonably certain that the cigarette
did, in fact, play a causal role in the development
of the disease?"
And then that was interrupted, and then
you were asked, "Doctor, you told us, I think, that
you would need to see more than five to conclude it
didn't. I want to know how many you'd need to see to
conclude it?"
And your answer was: "If you had -- and
let's just throw out mesothelioma. I don't care
whether the individual has mesothelioma or not. But
if you have 40 or 50 patients who smoked Kent
cigarettes, as much as a pack a day, from 1952 to
1956, and you show that there is no detectable
crocidolite in the lungs of any of those individuals,
Page 5082
then I would say the issue was laid to rest."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Dr. Longo, in the Roth case, did
find crocidolite in the pleural tissue. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you considered that to be important
and a basis upon which to rely that his mesothelioma
was caused by his smoking Kent cigarettes. Correct?
A. At that time, yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And you indicated at that time
that if that tissue was tumor tissue, then that would
actually understate the amount of crocidolite because
the tumor grows and it would be dilute the number,
the dilution process would understate whatever
asbestos you found. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And you had pleural -- there was
pleural tissue and tumor tissue for Mr. Argento.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Crocidolite is rarely, if ever,
found in the background population. Is that correct?
A. In our studies, that's correct.
Q. Okay. You were asked some questions

about the Dodson and Hammar study?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Do you have that article with you?
A. I do.
Q. This is Plaintiff's Exhibit 7. Do you
have that?
A. I think so.
Q. Okay. It indicated that you actually
looked at the same lung tissue that Drs. Dodson and
Hammar looked at?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, they found different types
of asbestos in the lung tissue. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. They found amosite, tremolite,
crocidolite, and anthophyllite and chrysotile.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And even if the only documented
history of exposure to asbestos was Kent cigarettes,
we know that this person was exposed to other types
of asbestos because they're finding other types of
asbestos here -- and we'll get to your analysis in a
minute. Okay? We agree on that?
A. Yes.

Q. On the results, page 681. Second
paragraph, "Transmission electron microscopic
evaluation."
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And they counted five asbestos
fibers and they said that's equivalent to over 20,000
asbestos fibers per gram of wet tissue. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Third sentence.
A. Yes.
Q. Which would mean how many asbestos
fibers in the total lung, approximately?
A. You have to multiply that by roughly 60.
Q. So you're talking about 1.2 million,
around?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, you looked at the lung
tissue and you found amosite.
A. Yes.
Q. Did you find any of the other types of
asbestos that they found?
A. Don't recall.

Q. You don't recall?
A. I did not find crocidolite, but I don't
recall if I found any other fibers.
Q. All you remember is you found amosite.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. They also looked at not only at lung
tissue, they looked at lymph node tissue. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you mentioned earlier that the lymph
nodes are one of the ways in which asbestos can get
out of the lung. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you look at that lymph node tissue?
A. In this case?
Q. No, in the case that we're talking
about, P-7.
A. I did not.
Q. Okay. They found crocidolite -- most of
the fibers that they found in the lymph nodes were
crocidolite. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you did not look at that lymph node
tissue. Correct?
A. Correct.

Q. You can't say whether or not there was
crocidolite in the lymph node tissue, could you?
A. Well, they found it. They reported it.
Q. You believe them. Right?
A. Sure.
Q. Okay. And lymph nodes is one of the
ways in which asbestos can get from the lung or the
lymph tissue -- the lymphatics is one of the ways
that asbestos can get from the lungs to the pleura.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And when asbestos gets -A. Wait.
Q. From the lungs to the pleura.
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And when asbestos gets from the
lungs to the pleura via the lymphatics, that asbestos
can still cause mesothelioma. Correct?
A. If it's of the proper dimensions, yes.
Q. The fact that it got there through the
lymphatics doesn't mean that it's gone and not
causing harm. Right?
A. That's true. But the ones they found
were in lymph nodes so they had already gotten to the
lymph nodes. They're not going to get back to the

lungs or the pleura.
Q. No, I understand that. What you find in
the lymph nodes is out of the lung. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. It's been cleared out of the lung.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. So asbestos that gets cleared out of the
lung via the lymphatics can end up in the lymph
nodes. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. It can also end up in the pleura.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And if it ends up in the pleura, it can
contribute to the causation of mesothelioma. Right?

Q. Okay. You mentioned that it's your
opinion that fibers shorter than 5 microns do not
cause mesothelioma. Did I hear that correctly?
A. Yes.

authors who have published on this subject that take
a different point of view than you do. Correct?
A. Yes, I think all the ones I'm familiar

with I had criticized for their opinions in my 2015
review article on the topic.
Q. Okay. Let's just take a look at a
couple.
(P-140, Marked for Identification.)
(P-141, Marked for Identification.)
Q. 140 is an article by Tomatis and the
other is Boulanger. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And both of these, the Tomatis
article, 140, was published in 2007; and the
Boulanger article, 2014. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And both of these articles take a
position contrary to yours that short asbestos fibers
are not toxic or don't cause disease. Correct?
A. It's been a while since I've seen these.
Q. Take a look at Exhibit 140. Let's go to
the conclusion on page 67. Last paragraph. "With
regard to the former" -- and that's talking about
somebody else's argument -- "several studies provide
evidence that fibers of all lengths and diameters
play a role in the induction of mesothelioma."
Did I read that correctly?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. Take a look at the Boulanger
article, 2014. "Quantification of short and long
asbestos fibers to asbestos -- to assess asbestos
exposure: A review of fiber size toxicity." Did I
read that correctly?
A. Yes.
Q. And if you look all the way at the end
where they have their conclusion, it says, "In view
of the experimental and epidemiological studies, the
toxicity of SAF, short asbestos fibers, cannot be
dismissed."
Do you see that?
A. And this is on page?
Q. Page 14 of 18.
A. Fourteen of 18. And where does it say
this, now?
Q. "Conclusions."
A. Okay. Yes.
Q. They note the debate in the scientific
community. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And then it says two sentences later,
"Based on literature data determining the role of
fiber size and biological effects of asbestos fibers
and our present knowledge on their mechanism of

action, it appears that the measurement of airborne
asbestos concentrations limited to fibers with a
length greater than 5 microns leaves out other types
of fibers that may also have adverse health effects."
Did I read that correctly?
A. It says, "health adverse effects." It's
an error in the print, not in what you said.
Q. Okay. And even Dr. Dodson, who we
looked at his paper before with Dr. Hammar, he has
published on short asbestos fibers causing
mesothelioma. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, you said that you have published on
the subject of short fiber -- short asbestos fibers.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. You also presented on that subject at
groups. Correct?
A. I have.
Q. One of the groups that you've made that
type of a presentation to is a group called the
Defense Research Institute. Correct?
A. It is.
Q. It's known as the "Voice of the Defense
Bar." Correct?

A. That's what they call themselves, yes.
Q. And you have presented on the subject of
short asbestos fibers at the DRI, the Defense
Research Institute. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. In fact, you actually submitted a
manuscript to the people attending the DRI before you
submitted it to publication for publishing. Is that
right?
A. I may have. I don't remember exactly
the order. What actually happened was I
prepared -- I was asked to give a topic at DRI.
Because of an article I had read, I thought that the
short fiber issue would be a good one.
Once I wrote my manuscript for the DRI
publication, I thought this is so good I need to
publish it in the regular scientific literature, and
then I submitted it to the Archives of Pathology and
Laboratory Medicine, which was actually accepted for
publication prior to my presentation at DRI.
Q. One of the types of things that you
testify about short asbestos fibers are when you
appear on behalf of brake companies or companies who
made cars where brake mechanics might have been
exposed to asbestos from changing brakes and

A. It is an issue there, yes.
Q. And you have testified in the past long
ago that -- not Longo, but long ago -- that asbestos
from brakes are capable of causing mesothelioma. Do
you recall that?
A. I think there was one case in 1988, and
I have not testified that way since.
Q. Okay. You changed your mind about that.
Right?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Okay. And in any event, you have come
together with lawyers representing brake companies
nationally and helped them put together presentations
for use in courtrooms. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, you mentioned earlier -- let's do
this now. You mentioned earlier that you charge for
your time. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And when you're actually away from home
and giving testimony, you charge at $600 an hour with
a cap of $3,600. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Another way in which you charge is you
charge a flat fee if somebody wants to just retain
you and have you do no work at all. Right?
A. Well, if I -- if they retain me, I do
charge for a retention fee. Whether I do no work at
all is up to the person who sends the retainer.
Q. Right. But in other words, they can
have you do absolutely no work and you still earn a
retention fee. Correct?
A. They send me a retainer fee; and if they
don't pay me anything else, then that would be what
happens.
Q. And that retention fee is $700 a case.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And overtime it averages about 500 a
case?
A. Yes.
Q. And you've accepted about 13,000
retentions. Correct?
A. Yes, a little more than that.
Q. It's about $6.5 to $7 million just from
the retention fees. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. In addition, when you do do work, you
charge at $700 an hour. Correct?

that over the last several years you've averaged
about $150,000 from your consulting work in asbestos
litigation?
A. Yes.
THE COURT: May I see counsel at
sidebar?
(At sidebar.)
THE COURT: How much further?
MR. MAIMON: I do believe I will be done
by 4:30, Judge.
THE COURT: We're still bringing him
back tomorrow? Is he available to come back
tomorrow?
MR. CEDILLO: He'll come back tomorrow,
your Honor.
MR. MAIMON: I don't mind breaking now.
I don't mind either way.
THE COURT: Yeah, becaause I need to
speak to the jurors, one juror.
MR. MAIMON: Sure.
THE COURT: All right. Stay here. Get
off of sidebar for the moment.

THE COURT: So members of the jury, we
are going to conclude today; but before we do, just
stay in your seats.
So, Dr. Roggli -- I want to make sure I
didn't say "Longo" -- we'll see you tomorrow morning.
MR. MAIMON: That's my line.
THE COURT: Yes, that's your line.
Thank you very much. You can leave that there and
we'll pick it up later.
(The witness is excused.)
THE COURT: So let's go back on sidebar.
MR. CEDILLO: The witness is excused,
your Honor?
THE COURT: Yes, I've excused the
witness.
Mr. Augello, can we see you, please.
(At sidebar with Juror No. 8.)
THE COURT: So, Mr. Augello, earlier you
had indicated to me you wanted to speak to me. And
you know I can't speak to you alone, that's why we're
here with everyone else.
JUROR: That's awesome.
THE COURT: Okay. But we are on
sidebar, so no one else in the courtroom can hear
you.

JUROR NO. 8: Okay. It's a
question -- well, the jury has a question. We want
to know are we going to end this Wednesday?
THE COURT: That's what I was going to
talk to all of you about. Today, I just wanted to
know, I'm bringing you here because I thought you had
a specific personal issue.
JUROR: No, It's for all of us.
THE COURT: Okay. Well, thank you.
JUROR: All right. I'll go back and sit
down.
THE COURT: Okay. Let's get off the
sidebar.
(End of sidebar.)
THE COURT: So members of the jury, your
spokesperson has brought to my attention an issue
that I was actually going to speak to you about
today.
So remember when we all convened back in
June, I provided all of you a calendar and I told you
that we expected this case to take no longer than the
24 days. And we had to take a number of days off due
to my personal emergencies -- again, not the
attorneys or the parties.
Well, after -- I expected that we're
going to complete the testimony of Dr. Roggli
tomorrow. And then there is one more live witness
who will expected hopefully to start tomorrow, but
may go into Wednesday. So we are not going to finish
by the time that I told you that we would.
However, I have worked with the attorneys
and we earlier had a discussion about when we are
going to be able to get this case to you.
Based upon what I see now, what the
attorneys see now, we expect that -- we anticipate
that we're going to get to closing statements on
Thursday, the 11th. There is a possibility of
Wednesday, but I think more likely Thursday. And
then submit the case to you.
And I realize it's not what I promised
to you when we met in June. And, certainly, if that
affects any one of you personally in some fashion, I
have to consider that. And we would need to discuss
that. Okay?
So I do know and I promised you, Mr.
Juror No. 1, Mr. Ciriello, that you were going to be
going on vacation, and I thought you were going to be
leaving on -JUROR: Next Saturday.
THE COURT: Next Saturday. We are not

going to be here next Friday, never mind next
Saturday. Okay?
JUROR NO. 1: But the week after I will
be gone.
THE COURT: Yes, I would never ever do
that to you. I mean, you told us and you even came
back and said my vacation. Do not worry about that.
Okay?
But if any of you have any particular
concerns that you want to discuss with me, we can
discuss them today or any time tomorrow. I don't
want you to feel embarrassed about it or intimidated
by it, because I did present you a schedule and there
was just unforeseen issues that came up -- again, due
to me, not the attorneys or the parties.
So if any one of you want to stay after I
release everyone or sometime tomorrow, we can talk
about it. At any point in time please don't feel
intimidated by the situation. Okay?
So why don't we put your notebooks and
pens back in the envelopes and tomorrow we'll
reconvene at 9 a.m.
If anyone wants to stay to discuss any
matters with me today, again, with the attorneys
present, you can stay. If there's a concern you have

with our schedule or if you want to stay and talk to
me -- talk to us about it tomorrow, that's fine, too.
Okay. So we have everything packed?
People are smiling and you're laughing so you all
know what's going on over there and I don't.
And if you want to think about it, think
about it, but if you want to stay, please stay. I'm
going to open the door now.
Just leave the notebooks on that chair
and I'll make sure they get into chambers overnight.
Okay? Thank you for your patience. And we'll see
you tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., a member of my staff
will meet you.
(The jury leaves the courtroom except
for Juror No. 6.)
THE COURT: And then there was one. Why
don't you join us at sidebar.
(At sidebar.)
THE COURT: All right. So for the
record, this is Juror No. 6, Amanda Bowsky.
And you have not been here in a while, in
at least 24 days, and so no one in the back can hear
you, okay, but I do need to create a record.
Can you tell us what your concern is.
JUROR NO. 6: On Thursday I have an

actuarial exam that I've been preparing for a very
long time. And then I leave for vacation on Friday.
THE COURT: Okay. So when you say
Thursday -JUROR NO. 6: This Thursday.
THE COURT: Thursday the 11th. And you
leave for vacation on Friday the 12th.
JUROR NO. 6: Yes.
THE COURT: Okay. Where are you going
on vacation?
JUROR NO. 6: We're going to Vegas for
the weekend and then we're going to California.
THE COURT: Oh, good for you. And this
is actuarial exam is on the 11th?
JUROR: Yes.
THE COURT: Okay. And what time is that
at?
JUROR: It's at 6:30 at night.
THE COURT: Okay. And you've been
studying throughout this trial?
JUROR NO. 6: Yes.
THE COURT: Okay. Could you excuse us
for a moment. I need to discuss with counsel.
(Juror leaves sidebar.)
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: Can we point out to her
how much money she would save if she didn't go to
Vegas?
THE COURT: Well, I don't know. She
might have a lucky streak.
MR. DUNST: That's why she's taking the
actuarial exam.
MR. MAIMON: What time did she say the
test was?
MR. CEDILLO: 6:30.
MR. MAIMON: At night.
THE COURT: She has been studying for
it. The question is if we do summations -- it
doesn't sound like we're doing summations on
Wednesday. It's more likely on Thursday.
MR. CEDILLO: Right. And they would be
deliberating on Friday.
THE COURT: On Friday.
MS. LONG: If we can finish half the day
on Wednesday -THE COURT: Oh, my, you're so
optimistic.
MR. CEDILLO: She's not doing cross.
THE COURT: Oh, just laugh.
MR. MAIMON: Yes.

THE COURT: Okay.
MR. MAIMON: Says that I laugh.
What I was going to suggest, Judge, I
mean, obviously she told us about the vacation ahead
of time. And I would make the same commitment to her
that you made to Juror No. 1 is that we won't make
you lose your vacation. I wouldn't dismiss her yet.
I don't see a reason to.
THE COURT: Anything can happen. Right?
MR. MAIMON: Anything could happen. And
I mean, she's put in this much time to it.
THE COURT: All right.
MR. MAIMON: I mean, if it turns
out that she's -- I mean, we have nine.
THE COURT: I have a feeling that we
have one more that's going to come up that didn't
want to come up today because they were sharing
glances back and forth. And that is Juror No. 2,
Miss Lockhart, so we may be talking to her.
All right. Is there any objection to my
not releasing her now?
MR. DUNST: I think we should leave it
up to her, because I think that we know -- we know
that we're not going to get done until at least
Thursday. So theoretically she's going to be here.

She is not going to be able to deliberate no matter
what happens. And, plus, you know, I mean, if she
could deliberate, then it would be a different story;
but if she can't deliberate, then I would give her
the choice because she may want to spend the rest of
the day Thursday since she's not going to deliberate
in a case she's been here for two months already
spending more time studying for her actuarial exam.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. MAIMON: That's reasonable.
MR. DUNST: That would be my -THE COURT: Any objection?
MR. CEDILLO: Not a strong objection,
your Honor. My instinct was to not do it yet. Let's
see what happens. Tomorrow is only Tuesday. We
could pull the trigger, you know, tomorrow or
Wednesday. For now keep her. She may -- she may
make the call closer in time to just stay.
MR. DUNST: I agree.
MR. CEDILLO: As opposed to release her
now. It may come down to her call anyway.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: But if you tell her okay,
now you can stay, she may find that better than
Vegas. Let's give her the chance.

THE COURT: All right.
Miss Bowsky, could you join us again.
(Juror returns to sidebar.)
THE COURT: Tell me, where is your
actuarial test being given?
JUROR: Clark, New Jersey.
THE COURT: Okay. And it starts at
6:30 p.m.?
JUROR: Yes.
THE COURT: I want you to know we
appreciate all the time that you've invested in this
trial because it has been a significant investment.
I assure you I will do nothing to interfere with your
vacation or your test; but if it's okay with you,
because we just never know what may happen. Perhaps
the testimony coming in will go quicker than I
anticipate right now because these are all
projections, would you mind staying with us a little
bit longer? Again, realizing I'm not going to do
anything to impact your taking that test and getting
out of here in enough time to take that test and your
vacation. Is that okay with you?
JUROR NO. 6: Yes.
THE COURT: Okay. You're comfortable
with that for now?
JUROR NO. 6: Yes.
THE COURT: All right. We'll see you
tomorrow morning. Thank you. Let me let you out.
(End of sidebar.)
THE COURT: All right. We're off of
sidebar and back live.
Were we going to work on that issue now
about reading in and there was going to be an
objection? Something with regard to -MR. MAIMON: Mr. Orcutt.
THE COURT: Did we finish the Orcutt
testimony?
MR. CEDILLO: No, your Honor.
MR. MAIMON: We have cross. We finished
direct.
MR. CEDILLO: It's about halfway done.
THE COURT: Okay. Let me get my Orcutt
binder. I will be right back.
MR. MAIMON: You ruled completely,
Judge.
MR. BERGER: We misunderstood. We
thought you meant how much time was left on the
Orcutt video we started already.
THE COURT: No.
MR. BERGER: I misunderstand your

question.
THE COURT: I apologize. We finished
page and line designations of Orcutt.
MR. CEDILLO: No, your Honor. May I
explain?
THE COURT: Yes, because I think Mr.
Berger is telling me something else.
MR. CEDILLO: There is another segment
of Mr. Orcutt from the Quirin case, but we've worked
with this, the deposition that we took here.
The deposition that we took here centered
on the Longo and Millette studies and photographs,
and so forth that are not in play. So we'd like some
very short passages from Mr. Orcutt where he
addressed the Longo pictures that are part of his
1995 report.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: We have exchanged those
with counsel. When we finished the playing of the
deposition, because I was concerned about scope
issues, and so forth, I said, "Heads up, there's
another segment of Mr. Orcutt that I want read as
part of my direct." And then we exchanged that
portion with counsel.
They have not agreed and they have

objections to it. It's very short, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. So I need to see
that. Okay.
MS. LONG: We have an objection to the
entire transcript, your Honor, and I would just like
to give you some background on this issue.
THE COURT: Sure.
MS. LONG: In early May, Mr. Berger
called me and said, "We want to present Mr. Orcutt by
his prior testimony in the Quirin case." And he sent
me the Quirin deposition. And he said, "If you don't
agree to that, then we want to do a trial
preservation deposition down in North Carolina."
I read the Quirin transcript and I
replied to Mr. Berger and I told him, "We don't agree
to that. We want to do the trial preservation."
The week before trial, I went down to
North Carolina and took a discovery dep, and then we
did the trial preservation of Mr. Orcutt. And now
that we've shown his whole transcript, they could
have asked him what they want to ask him here at that
video deposition where I would have had an
opportunity to cross-examine him on the matter. They
did not do that. They chose to ask about certain
photos and not the published articles. That was

their choice. They chose to do a trial preservation
instead of bringing Mr. Orcutt up here. There was no
indication in the discovery deposition or the video
deposition that he's not able to travel to New York
from North Carolina. You saw on the video. He's a
healthy man. He's in his 80s, but he can come here.
They haven't given any proffer that he's unavailable
to come here.
Again, before trial, I made the trip to
North Carolina, took the time, prepared to do a
cross-examination. Did all that.
And so this would be testimony that we
haven't had the opportunity to cross-examine on, that
they chose how to -- Mr. Cedillo chose how to conduct
his direct examination. And as he's pointed out many
times throughout this trial, he knows these cases,
he's tried these cases before. He certainly could
have asked about the Longo article in that trial
preservation testimony when I had the opportunity to
cross-examine on the matter. And this is not just an
unavailable witness that they're now trying to
present via prior testimony. When they made that
offer prior to the trial, we said we don't agree to
that. And now in the middle of trial they're trying
to do something that we could have done before trial.
So we have an objection to using any of
this witness' transcript. This isn't the way it's
done, your Honor. You put a witness on once and
that's your shot. You don't get to go, oh, I don't
like his testimony so now I want to put in his prior
depositions where the other party had no opportunity
to cross-examine.
And, again, not an unavailable witness.
He was willing to come and do a deposition for them.
He was willing to come and do trial testimony for
them. As we saw in the video, he's very thankful and
loyal to Lorillard. I'm sure he would if they asked
make the trip for them. And regardless of whether he
would or not, they had their shot. And if Mr.
Cedillo didn't ask the questions he wanted to ask,
that was a decision he made. I would have conducted
the cross different if it was in the middle of trial,
too, but we live with what we did, what we agreed to
before trial. And we didn't give them a hard time
before trial about him being available or
unavailable. We did them the courtesy of going down
to North Carolina and doing the dep. And now they're
trying to present the testimony that we wouldn't have
agreed to anyway. So that's our objection
MR. CEDILLO: Okay. And you heard

everything about five different times, your Honor,
the same objection over and over again. It doesn't
change the fact -THE COURT: It doesn't give it more
weight. Okay. Let's just get to the heart of it.
MR. CEDILLO: It doesn't change that
under the rules we can bring him in if it is someone
that was examined by people who had the opportunity
and the same level of interest.
Secondly, what counsel is not telling
you is that they made the strategic decision not to
use the Millette and the Longo 2010 and 2012
materials at the trial. That was always in the case.
THE COURT: You mean the unpublished
studies?
MR. CEDILLO: Yes, the studies that they
did for litigation and the photographs. And quite
frankly, your Honor, that has been the focus -because I do know these cases. That has been the
focus that they're going on because they understand
the -- the junk science that the Cancer Research
amounts to. He redid it. He resaid it and came up
with all these pictures. And that was what was in
play at the time that we took the deposition.
The availability or not availability,

your Honor, is very reciprocal. Mrs. Rose Argento,
they chose to bring her by deposition. She lives
around here somewhere, and I didn't ask them for any
showing of unavailability. I extended them the
courtesy that they want to bring her by deposition,
they don't want to bring her live. Fine. I didn't
give them a hard time with it at all.
And they were asked -- Mr. Orcutt was
asked by Ms. Long, the case is going to be tried in
New Jersey, why can't you make it to trial.
He said, "Age and recovering from
surgery."
And she said, "Oh, and I hope you're
recovering well."
So the unavailability rationale was
given by the witness. And, yes, we're very grateful
that counsel extended us that courtesy, just as we
were extending them the courtesy as well for
witnesses that wouldn't have to travel as far.
So I think that under the rule we're
allowed to do it, your Honor.
I'll -- I'll also point out to the Court
that when they wanted to do some numbers,
calculations that were within the range of what Dr.
Longo had done in the '95 article, because they were

within the range even though they weren't part of the
article, the Court allowed it. These are the
photographs that are Dr. Longo used. Certainly, I
mean, if within the range is a criterion, we
certainly fit within the range.
And, your Honor, we're talking about six
pages of Q and A from the Quirin deposition that go
through a couple of the photographs that are used by
Longo in the published article. So we're not talking
about extending -THE COURT: You said in the published
article?
MR. CEDILLO: Yes, your Honor. We're
not talking about, you know, extending this with a
whole other transcript and go over anything in a way
of rehashing.
MS. LONG: Well, your Honor, that
testimony about recovering from surgery was taken two
months ago, so if he's -- I don't think that makes
the unavailability proffer is all I'm saying.
THE COURT: How old is he?
MS. LONG: He's in his 80s.
MR. BERGER: 85 or 86.
MS. LONG: That's why we went down and
took the dep. I didn't object to going. I didn't
say, no, bring him to New Jersey.
THE COURT: What kind of surgery did he
have?
MR. BERGER: I don't think he ever told
us.
MR. CEDILLO: I think it was the private
kind of -THE COURT: Okay. Let's keep it that
way.
MS. LONG: None of this changes the fact
that Mr. Cedillo had a chance to do his direct. He
chose not to ask about the Longo article. And
now -- and robbing me now by putting it in via this
deposition of the chance to cross-examine on it.
But he made a strategic decision to do a
video dep before trial. He made a strategic decision
about which studies to question about. They were the
parties who moved to exclude the unpublished studies,
all of them. We prevailed on the published Longo
study, but they moved to exclude all of the studies.
That wasn't us, your Honor. We didn't fight on the
unpublished studies. We didn't oppose a motion on
the unpublished studies. But that was their motion,
not ours. So to say we tried to keep them out
because we know the Cancer Research article is junk

science is not an appropriate representation of the
record.
What it boils down to is you don't put a
witness on twice, your Honor, and that's essentially
what they're trying to do.
THE COURT: How is that, Dr. Reinert,
you wanted him in your case-in-chief. We sat
through -MS. LONG: But that's one party putting
him on once and then the other party putting him on
second. And we needed to put him on in our case. We
chose to do it by prior video. If they want to bring
him live to say whatever he's going to say that
wasn't in the video, that's one thing, but this is
the same party calling the same witness twice, and
the second time via prior transcript where we haven't
had the opportunity to cross-examine.
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, he hasn't even
gone on once. He's gone on half. And I brought it
up at the end of the week when we were last here
because I want him to be part of the once.
And, your Honor, if -- if the thrust of
the attack is that Cedillo messed up and should have
done something, then that's my fault and I should be
held accountable for it, but you shouldn't hold my

client accountable for something.
The issue of the challenge to the
Millette and Longo studies because it's junk science
and it was an expert challenge, and what they were
doing was driven by litigation and we had good
grounds to ask the Court to consider it. And counsel
withdrew that and said, no, we're not going to use
him at all so you never had to rule.
THE COURT: Okay. So, again, and I
realize I may have asked this more than once. This
testimony that you're seeking to have played to the
jury is with regard to pictures that were in the
published study. Is that correct?
MR. CEDILLO: Yes, your Honor.
MS. LONG: I don't believe they're in
the article, themselves, your Honor.
MR. BERGER: They are from Dr. Longo's
study that was the subject -- the subject of the
published article. They are photographs of the
filter tips and the packs.
THE COURT: How do we know that? Is
that an issue, whether or not they were a part -MR. BERGER: It's not.
MS. LONG: It hasn't been proven to us,
your Honor.

All right. We accept it.
MR. MAIMON: We've accepted that
representation, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: And one of the pictures is
in the -- in the published article, your Honor.
There is a picture in there. But there are others.
MR. BERGER: Yeah. And in addition to
the filter tip pictured in the article, we have -- he
has pictures of the packages that the cigarettes he
tested came out of, as well as from the opened pack
you see the tips of the filters.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. BERGER: From the published -- the
cigarettes that were involved in the published study.
THE COURT: Okay. You have indicated
that one was included in the published study.
MR. CEDILLO: Yeah, that I'm certain of.
THE COURT: Okay. Are the other ones
referenced in the published study or just any old
picture?
MR. BERGER: Yes. No, the published
study -- if you remember, in the article he says the
cigarettes that I've tested came from two packs, a
1952 pack with the Vermont tax stamp and a 1955 pack
with a Pennsylvania tax stamp. And that's what these
pictures are that Mr. Orcutt is talking about, that's
where they come from.
MR. CEDILLO: They are identified in
words in the article.
MR. MAIMON: We don't dispute, your
Honor, Dr. Longo did a study that eventually was
published. We do not dispute. We've accepted the
representation of counsel that the photographs that
Mr. Orcutt was asked about in the other deposition,
not the de bene esse for this case -- were from the
initial study that Dr. Longo did which resulted in
the published study. We don't dispute that.
Our complaint is that we've been denied
cross-examination of it.
THE COURT: So motion to bar the
unpublished studies of Dr. Longo came from the
defendants.
MR. MAIMON: Yeah, those are the
pictures that Mr. Cedillo showed Mr. Orcutt in his
de bene esse testimony.
MR. CEDILLO: Because there was an
attempt in the discovery not only were they the
pictures of Dr. Longo published -- not published but
prepared for litigation, but also Dr. Millette who

also used Dr. Longo and had a separate set of tests.
And those were the subject of motions that were part
of expert challenges, moving to exclude. You never
ruled on that because they withdrew it and said we're
not going to go there.
THE COURT: But that was after the
deposition.
MR. CEDILLO: That happened while we
were here.
THE COURT: That happened after the
deposition took place.
MR. CEDILLO: Yes.
MR. BERGER: At the time of the
deposition, the state of the record was the
plaintiffs had their two experts, Dr. Moline and
Dr. Cummings, both had the unpublished 2010 Millette
study and the unpublished 2012 Longo study in their
reliance materials. They were at issue in the case
at the time the de bene esse was done.
MS. LONG: And they had the published
article in their reliance materials. They were -THE COURT: No question. So you went
down and you took a discovery dep first. Right?
MS. LONG: Yes.
MR. MAIMON: And during that time frame,

did anybody get into these issues of the photographs?
MS. LONG: Not of the Longo published
article. They did get into the issue of the
unpublished.
MR. CEDILLO: Not here in the discovery
deposition, your Honor. That was all her. I didn't
ask questions in the discovery deposition.
MS. LONG: Right. I asked about it
because I read his prior transcripts where he talked
about the same photo. I probed it in the discovery
dep. And then on direct, in the video in the trial
transcript, Mr. Cedillo spent a lot of time on the
pictures. But he didn't do the Longo published
article, so I didn't ask about that.
MR. CEDILLO: Obviously because -(A discussion off the record.)
THE COURT: So could I ask why his
de bene esse, which he was ill, age, recovering from
surgery, why you didn't ask about these then?
MR. CEDILLO: Because, your Honor, that
was -- that was my judgment call. The emphasis was
on the 2010 and 2012 photographs. They were studies
that were designed to address all the infirmities
that we had challenged Dr. Longo directly on as
recently as the Couscouris case. And the entire

focus in the last two trials in this case have been
on this new work that Dr. Millette did on Longo
materials and that Dr. Longo himself redid to try to
address it. That was -- that was where the emphasis
has always been in these cases.
MS. LONG: Your Honor, those were not
our trials and they were not Dr. Cummings or
Dr. Moline, so there's no reason they would have
thought that Dr. Cummings and Dr. Moline would put
any emphasis on those articles that they didn't put
on the published article.
So regardless of what Mr. Cedillo's prior
experience is, that has nothing to do with this case
because our experts did not at all focus on those
articles more than they did the published article.
MR. CEDILLO: Well, your Honor, their
experts focus on what they strategically make
decisions that they don't have to address because
they're going to go in another direction.
THE COURT: All right. I just want an
opportunity to look at this real quickly. We'll go
off the record.
(A discussion is held off the record.)
THE COURT: Go back on the record.
MR. MAIMON: The only thing I would add,
your Honor, is that this testimony would be
cumulative. In the Block videotape that they've
offered, they showed Mr. Block these exact photos
that they now want Mr. Orcutt to testify about and
asked him do those represent what Kent cigarette
would -- would have looked like.
And your Honor ruled about the
admissibility of that testimony. Albeit, we weren't
at those depositions, but under the rules your Honor
allows -- you know, that unavailability, Mr. Block is
deceased, and we're stuck with that
cross-examination. So they do have these photographs
being questioned and somebody, unfortunately, did a
cross-examination, maybe not to our liking, but
Mr. Block was produced for trial
testimony -- Mr. Orcutt was produced for trial
testimony.
THE COURT: Remind me again -- anything
further?
MR. MAIMON: No. And so it would
even -- even assuming they had done it, it would have
been cumulative of what somebody else said the same
thing. And now to deny the cross-examination on
somebody they already have the testimony on from
somebody else we believe even compounds the

prejudice.
THE COURT: Remind me again, Mr. Orcutt
is who in connection with -MR. MAIMON: Sales.
MR. CEDILLO: He was a salesman that
would go and rotate the stock and was in charge of
making sure that what was on the shelf was sellable.
And if it was damaged he would remove them and send
them back. And I think there's either already or
there's going to be testimony that they would be sent
back because the tag -- the tax tag had value, and
they take them back and be able to take them off and
get a refund for it.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: So that he was involved in
making sure that the product was high quality and
sellable. And he says that the things that Dr. Longo
was working with is not anything approximating what
the consumer would be selling. And that's a very
major point in our criticism of Dr. Longo's work.
MS. LONG: If it's such a key point, I
don't know why he didn't they bring it out in the
direct exam.
And, also, they did get out the testimony
from Mr. Orcutt about how it was important to bring

the cigarettes back, and all the stuff about the
freshness, and the odors, and the heat, and the sun
and the damp. That all came in and he can argue
about that in closing so he did have Mr. Orcutt on
that subject.
And, again, if it's such a key part of
their case, why didn't they do it so we could
cross-examine on it?
MR. CEDILLO: And we did do it on the
photographs of the subsequent Longo and Millette
studies that were prepared for litigation. We did go
into all these topics. We also did it in the Quirin
case on the Longo. Did not do it in the deposition
of Mr. Orcutt for here as it relates to Longo.
THE COURT: I understand.
MR. CEDILLO: And that's why I want to
use the Quirin.
THE COURT: And tell me, with regard to
Mr. Block, so Mr. Block is already going through
these photographs in his testimony which the jury
will see?
MR. BERGER: Yes.
THE COURT: There's a yes?
MR. CEDILLO: Yes, your Honor.
MR. BERGER: Yes.

THE COURT: And Mr. Block's role with
Lorillard?
MR. CEDILLO: He was the guy that made
the machine.
MR. BERGER: The chief engineer.
THE COURT: That's right. So you're
getting that testimony in from your chief engineer
who, as I recall the testimony was there, and they
did the product runs and whatever. So now he was
asked to look at the pictures that were either part
of or referred in the Longo published studies and
give testimony with regard to that.
MR. CEDILLO: That's correct, your
Honor.
THE COURT: And he's unavailable.
MR. CEDILLO: He's dead.
THE COURT: And the plaintiffs have
accepted that or they placed their objections on the
record.
So why do you need this in where, you
know, I'm really having difficulty struggling with
you had the opportunity to ask him, and here are the
plaintiffs who would have cross-examined on them, and
so now we're going to have additional testimony with
regard to photographs that we already have in by a
witness who is unavailable who was there and actually
produced or was the engineer behind the production of
the machine that created the filters and would know
best, you know, what they looked like.
And now this testimony of a salesperson
that you could have. I mean, the question does not
allowing this testimony in prejudice to your client
to the point that it overrides the prejudice to the
plaintiff who would have been prepared to
cross-examine this witness who may not be able to
travel here. And I accept an 86-year-old had
surgery, might take more than two months to recover,
Ms. Long.
MS. LONG: He looks good, your Honor.
THE COURT: But I mean, if this is that
important to you, why can't we produce him by video,
like live?
MR. CEDILLO: Well, your Honor, you've
heard all my argument. It's certainly within the
range of what was -- everybody was on notice of.
There isn't anything -- and if you look at the six
pages, there isn't anything that they didn't do with
the Millette or Longo later pictures.
THE COURT: Except those are unpublished
studies and that's out of this case.

MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor -THE COURT: Unless they were the same
pictures that they looked at and there was testimony
with regard to that that, you know, may have been
recycled in the unpublished data.
MR. CEDILLO: Your Honor, the whole
unpublished criteria that we've been getting
whipsawed with. You're considering unpublished.
Work that he did in connection with the '95 test that
he chose not to publish because it showed that he got
1/20th of the results when he did it with the
syringe. That is unpublished, and so it's not fair
game? That is exactly why witnesses like Dr. Moline
and Dr. Cummings, if I had been able to confront them
with that, they would have said, yeah, if it's not
reproducible, you call it into question. I know
exactly what Dr. Roggli would say about that. That's
one of the main reasons he changed his mind when he
found out that Dr. Longo had the information and
chose not to publish it when it was so diametrically
opposed to the results that he did chose to publish.
He's got very strong views on that for that reason.
And the reason or the rationale is that it isn't
published? Yeah, he chose not to publish it because
it showed what a piece of junk his work was.

THE COURT: I don't -- I don't want to
take up time relitigating anew several times over
this motion that I've already decided.
What I'm asking you is were any of the
pictures that he testified to in relation to the
unpublished studies, were they the same pictures that
we're talking about here?
MR. CEDILLO: I do not believe so, your
Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. Can you make -MR. CEDILLO: They were from -- they
were from -THE COURT: Okay.
MR. CEDILLO: -- other packs.
THE COURT: I accept that you did not
ask him. Is there any way that you can make him
available to get this last piece of testimony in live
with the pictures obviously in his hands in North
Carolina so that counsel can cross-examine him?
MR. CEDILLO: I don't know the answer to
that, your Honor.
THE COURT: Why don't you look into
that.
MR. CEDILLO: Fine. I'll look into
that. Given the time constraints that we're all

here tomorrow. We'll stay and do the charges

evening, you'll let us know; otherwise we'll start
12
with the charges at 8:30 tomorrow morning.

15
to do?
16
MR. MAIMON: Just charges.
17
MR. CEDILLO: The only other issue, your 18
Honor, we have the exhibits that we want to admit
19
into evidence. And the issue was whether we're going 20
to get to publish them or not. But we have never
21
heard from counsel as to what objections they have. 22
MR. MAIMON: We'll let them know tonight 23
what our objections are.
24
THE COURT: We're talking about the
25
exhibits previously identified but you have not
sought admission. All right. You are trying to get
agreement on all the exhibits, like everybody?
MR. MAIMON: Yes, your Honor.
MR. CEDILLO: There's others we haven't
even offered, yet, Judge, for example, the ones under
the ancient document exception. But we've provided
them to counsel. And if I hear counsel correctly,
they may or may not have objection but they do have
objection about taking time to publish them is what I
heard. If we can at least hear from them as to
whether they're objecting to the admission or not,
then we know whether you've got work to do with us or
not.
THE COURT: Do you have an understanding
of that or do you need clarification?
MR. MAIMON: We just have to know which
exhibits we agree to admission and which ones we
object to.
THE COURT: But I think it went beyond
that. You have other documents that have not yet
been identified?
MR. CEDILLO: No, in open court here.
We've given them everything to consider. The
question I'm talking about is what Mr. Maimon raised
Page 5130
earlier today, that if they agree or if they have no
objection to admit them over their objection, he
doesn't want us taking time to publish them to the
jury without a sponsoring witness, which I believe
I'm entitled to do at least under the ancient
document exception. And so that is something that
you would have to take up.
THE COURT: Okay. No problem. I'll see
everyone at 8:30 tomorrow morning.
MR. DUNST: Your Honor, there's one
other thing. We had moved WCD-17, 18 and 19, which
were the 309. And you said we would hold off because
Mr. Maimon said there were certain things within
that.
THE COURT: Right.
MR. DUNST: Well, I have not heard
what's in there.
MR. MAIMON: I have them with me. I can
