70. Wouldn't Texas have to prove that there ARE risks in the first place and THEN prove that Tylenol also knew...

Friday

and actively hid them? Or is this meant to assume (without proof) that Tylenol causes autism, and then Johnson & Johnson is being asked to "prove a negative" ???

Proving-a-negative isn't how our court system is supposed to work, right? The person making the positive assertion must prove it's true. The accused doesn't need to prove it to be false, right?

I do not think that Texas will be successful at doing anything other than making lawyers rich and intentionally harming the reputation of the company and the product. They will be the equivalent of the fellow who put cyanide in Tylenol capsules back in the early 80's.
