Argument(s)
Defendants were unjustly prosecuted and convicted for allegedly violating work practice standards promulgated under the Clean Air Act regarding removal and disposal of asbestos-containing material found in multi-layer pipe wrap, but no evidence was presented that a single asbestos fiber was released into the environment. Amici urge the court to affirm the district court’s order granting a new trial.
