MindFreedom Defends Itself in Court For Second Day From Censorship by Eli
Lilly About Formerly "Secret" Zyprexa Files
BROOKLYN, NY: MindFreedom's attorney Ted Chabasinski and director
David Oaks both spoke today in court during a second day of court
hearings about Eli Lilly's supposedly "secret" files on the
psychiatric drug Zyprexa.
At stake: Freedom of speech by MindFreedom and this web site, which Eli
Lilly is seeking to gag with a court order... and the public right to
know about Zyprexa fraud.
Judge Jack Weinstein of the U.S. District Court of New York closed
today's hearing, and set a schedule to receive briefs from both side.
Based on the schedule the judge may be headed toward a decision in early
February.
