Title: Blindsided: The True Story of One Man's Crusade Against Chemical Giant DuPont for a Boy with No Eyes Author: James L. Ferraro Narrator: Christian Slater Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 10 minutes Release date: June 13, 2017 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: In 1996, an unprecedented decade-long courtroom battle was waged in Florida to help bring justice and hope to the family of a young boy born with no eyes after his mother was doused outside of a local u-pick farm by a chemical fungicide believed to have caused his birth defect and the birth defects of many other children. It was a battle that nearly everyone but attorney Jim Ferraro deemed unwinnable. After all, it involved one of the world’s most powerful industrial giants. In the process, it was a fight that changed the landscape of tort law forever. Before it was over Castillo-vs-DuPont would go down in history as the first and one of the most important cases of its kind, setting precedent and also sparking a crucial debate over the questionable use of what is known as the “junk-science defense.” Blindsided is a blow-by-blow account of how a lone attorney challenged a dangerous threat to public health….and how the defenders never saw defeat coming. It’s a real life David and Goliath story—a true courtroom drama for the ages.
