Jessica Grant's opening statements in the defense of client
Premier Nutrition's product Joint Juice were featured in
the Daily Journal's coverage of the Mary
Beth Montera v. Premier Nutrition Corp. trial in the U.S.
District Court of California for the Northern District.
In her opening statements, Jessica told the jury, "The
story you heard [from the plaintiffs' attorney] is just that, a
story" and the plaintiffs' attorney was just "making
it up."
Jessica claimed studies around the world show glucosamine and
chondroitin provide positive effects, and she showed the jury study
after study which corroborated Premier's position, taking time
to point out the names and reputations of the journals they
appeared in, including one study published in The New England
Journal of Medicine, one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed
medical journals as well as the oldest continuously published
one.
