As reported on Houston’s Channel 2 Website, the widow testified today in the Angleton, Texas trial. Excerpt:
ANGLETON, Texas — The widow of a Texas man whose death is at the center of the country’s first Vioxx-related civil trial haltingly told jurors Thursday that she struggles with guilt because she suggested her husband ask his doctor about the painkiller when they saw ads for it on television.
“I feel very guilty at times,” a soft-spoken Carol Ernst testified about her husband, Robert Ernst, who took Vioxx for eight months to relieve pain in his hands before he died in his sleep next to her.
