DIET DRUG TRIAL: Former judge's testimony leads to request for fen-phen mistrial

Former judge's testimony leads to request for fen-phen mistrial
KENTUCKY.COM

Defense attorneys asked for a mistrial in a federal fen-phen criminal trial Wednesday after a former Boone County circuit judge testified that he had been reprimanded in connection with the case.

 

U.S. District Judge William Bertelsman rejected calls for a mistrial but said he would instruct jurors to ignore the testimony by former Circuit Judge Joseph "Jay" Bamberger.

 

Bamberger presided over a fen-phen class-action suit that culminated in a $200 million settlement in 2001.

 

Attorneys Melbourne Mills Jr., William Gallion and Shirley Allen Cunningham Jr. are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in their handling of that case.

 

Bamberger, who took the stand Wednesday afternoon, testified that the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission later reprimanded him for his actions in the case.
