An expert witness retained by the plaintiffs in the East Palestine class-action lawsuit has signed a declaration to say independent testing evaluator Scott Smith’s testing results are valid and credible. Stephen Petty was retained by the attorneys that represent the citizens of East Palestine to conduct testing and serve as an expert witness in the case. The attorneys have not released the testing data, which has caused speculation that they are not working on behalf of the residents who are still experiencing significant health effects from the aftermath of the chemical burn in February 2023.
This information came out just before the judge approved the $600 million class-action settlement, which many consider far too low for the residents dealing with ongoing medical issues. Judge Benita Y. Pearson called the settlement “fair, reasonable, and adequate,” and approved $162 million for the attorneys on the case.
