RALEIGH, N.C., April 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Hon. James Dever evoked the image of the Roman Empire when speaking about serving justice to the Marines and their families who were harmed by the toxic water at Marine Base Camp Lejeune. If each case went to trial independently, it would take the four U.S. District Court of Eastern North Carolina judges 1,900 years to get through — around the same time span of the Roman Empire.
