Mealey's (December 7, 2020, 9:12 AM EST) -- WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A Fourth District Florida Court of Appeal panel on Dec. 3 per curiam affirmed a trial court’s denial of a smoker’s widow’s motion for a new trial, which the widow contended should have been granted because the trial court did not allow cross-examination of the tobacco companies’ expert witness regarding the age at which the decedent began smoking and due to allegedly improper closing arguments by the tobacco companies (Rose Pollari v. Philip Morris USA Inc., et al., No. 4D19-2610, Fla. App., 4th Dist., 2020 Fla. App. LEXIS 17199)....
