Jury Rules Against Exxon in Second Phase of Trial
A jury has ruled against Exxon Mobil Corp. in the second phase of a trial over whether the company allowed a gasoline additive to contaminate well water in New York City. In the verdict jurors found that the additive methyl tertiary butyl ether, or MTBE, will remain in affected wells until at least 2033. Jurors will next decide whether Exxon must pay damages for contaminating the wells.
