True crime (sort of). A woman is dead after a minor accident, and her husband sues Ford for faulty air bag.

Kind of dry and a lot of jargon, but interesting.

Now, it was the defendant, the giant automaker Ford, who became a de facto prosecutor, with plaintiff Eric Thomas, a passenger in the Explorer, accused of murdering his wife…
