About this listen

In 1996, an unprecedented decade-long courtroom battle was waged in Florida to help bring justice and hope to the family of a young boy born with no eyes after his mother was doused outside of a local u-pick farm by a chemical fungicide believed to have caused his birth defect and the birth defects of many other children.

It was a battle that nearly everyone but attorney Jim Ferraro deemed unwinnable. After all, it involved one of the world's most powerful industrial giants. In the process it was a fight that changed the landscape of tort law forever. Before it was over, Castillo v. DuPont would go down in history as the first and one of the most important cases of its kind, setting precedent and also sparking a crucial debate over the questionable use of what is known as the "junk-science defense".

Blindsided is a real-life David and Goliath story - a true courtroom drama for the ages.

The story and legal battle of Johnny Castillo was beautifully depicted in this book. Being a lawyer myself, this book reminded me why I chose to become a lawyer. May all the Johnny Castillos out there always have a Jim Ferraro on their corner.
