After an 8-week trial, a jury found Monsanto liable and initially awarded him $289.2 million, including $250 million in punitive damages, although this was later reduced by the judge to $78.5 million.
Alameda County Jury Awards $2 Billion Verdict

Glyphosate and Cancer
In September 2003, a study of 3,400 Midwest farmworkers published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found higher rates of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with glyphosate exposure. Another research article reviewing over 30 years of data highlighted a "striking increase" in the incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, suggesting that farmers' low overall mortality rates but high rates of certain cancers could be due to agrochemical exposure.
Lastly, a 2015 report by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a WHO division, classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic," linking it to cancer in animal lab tests and DNA damage in human cells.
