The panel concluded the previous ruling in Wilfredo Velasquez's case against Advanced Biotech Inc., a supplier of raw food materials, should be reversed and remanded back to a trial court because the lower court erred when it made his immigration status admissible at trial, when Velasquez alleged an Advanced product caused him to contract a deadly disease requiring a lung transplant. The appeals court agreed with Velasquez that admission of this fact was irrelevant to the case and could have prejudiced jurors, who ultimately ruled in favor of Advanced." - Alex Wolf, Law360, Jan. 30, 2015.
