Will Stute's Closing Clears NCAA in Bellwether CTE Trial Over Ex-Football Player's Death

Orrick's Will Stute argues that substance use and medical conditions, not brain injury, led to the death of former USC football player Matthew Gee. Gee's wife contends the NCAA is responsible for the chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, gee suffered while playing football. Jurors cleared the NCAA of responsibility in the first such case to go to verdict.
