I have before me
a complaint on behalf of residents...
1:16:10
... of Hinkley, California, who
have filed against PG&E.
1:16:15
For damages, medical expenses
and personal trauma...
1:16:18
...due to contamination of the ground
water in their area by the defendant.
1:16:23
And I have here 84 motions
to strike and demurrers...
1:16:26
...submitted by representatives
of Pacific Gas & Electric.
1:16:30
Each one attacking
the validity of this complaint.
1:16:34
I have reviewed all of
the information carefully.
1:16:38
I'm ready to give my decision.
1:16:40
Before I do, is there
anything anyone wants to say?
1:16:44
-No, Your Honour.
-No, Your Honour.
1:16:47
Very well.
1:16:49
In the matter of the plaintiffs
of Hinkley, California vs. PG&E...
1:16:54
...it is the order of this court that
each of the 84 motions to strike...
1:16:58
...and demurrers are denied.
1:17:01
And the causes of action against
Pacific Gas and Electric are upheld.
1:17:06
On a more personal note...
1:17:08
...as a resident here in Barstow,
which is not far from Hinkley...
1:17:12
...l am disturbed by reference...
1:17:15
...to evidence that suggests that not
only was hexavalent chromium used...
1:17:20
...but that your clients
actually sent these residents...
1:17:24
...pamphlets telling them
that it was good for them.
1:17:28
Tell your clients
they're going to trial.
1:17:42
Jesus. They look
like the Secret Service.
1:17:45
Intimidation.
1:17:49
Let the games begin.
1:17:51
Show them into the conference room.
1:17:56
Donald, Anna...
1:17:58
...l wanna talk to you for a minute.
