Poor Barry Gertz, Mercks' Executive VP of clinical services. He had such a hard grilling on the stand from the plaitiffs lawyers that even the judge started to feel sorry for him: "You're done, you can leave" state Superior Court Judge Carol Higbee said to Gertz. "I'm sure you can't wait to leave."
And Barry took her at her word.
After a day and a half of tense questioning marked by dozens of objections by both plantiff and defense attorneys, Gertz virtually ran out the door of the Atlantic City courtroom when told that his part in the show was over.
Chin up Barry. If Merck keep to their current vow to fight each trial one by one you will become far more used to this kind of thing over the next few months or even years! In fact, it will become a good part of your daily life.
Now there's a thought.
