You're asking me if we knew about two things.
Did we know about the court case? No. You won't find that in the scientific literature. I was aware, however, of something in Italy where a group of judges or maybe one judge had condemned some scientists for not having been able to predict earthquakes. That's the only thing I knew. But depleted uranium and its relationship to Hodgkin's.... I think it was Hodgkin's, wasn't it?
