Jurors: Don't throw out $289M weed killer cancer verdict
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jurors who found that agribusiness giant Monsanto's Roundup weed killer contributed to a school groundskeeper's cancer are urging a San Francisco judge not to throw out the bulk of their $289 million award in his favor, a newspaper reported Monday.

"I urge you to respect and honor our verdict and the six weeks of our lives that we dedicated to this trial," he said.
