Search on for jurors to hear longest trial in memory

September 3, 2010 By [email protected]

The St. Louis court system is looking for the jury that could hear the longest civil trial in memory.

The trial is not expected to start until January but the circuit court has sent questionnaires out to 6,000 people as the first step in finding the 12 and alternates who will hear a lawsuit that already is 12 years old.

More than 30 hospitals and the city of St. Louis are suing American Tobacco, claiming they are owed millions of dollars for caring for smokers. The tobacco industry argues the hospitals and the city are not entitled to any money because they were not the ones injured by tobacco use.
