WIGAND IS ASKED ABOUT WHETHER RESEARCH CONDUCTED ON NICOTINE PRIOR TO HIS ARRIVAL WAS DISCLOSED TO HIM MR. MOTLEY:
Q. So what you just described for the jury and the court under oath was the type of studies you were asking about and learned may have indeed been conducted; is that correct?
MR. BEZANSON: Object to the form.
A. That's correct. It was totally alien to what I experienced in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industry. If I was an advisor, I would never be precluded from understanding what research transpired over 20 years prior to me taking a position.
MR. MOTLEY:
Q. Would you say, sir, that company officials suppressed information of a scientific nature that you considered to be important in discharging your mission as vice president of research and development?
MR. BEZANSON: Object to the form.
A. There was no disclosure of that information.
MR. MOTLEY:
Q. Would you characterize that as a suppression?
MR. BEZANSON: Object to the form.
A. Yes.
