Can someone explain why they keep losing when all the evidence does seem to say that it isn’t problematic? Is it just politics?

The story I read somewhere is that Bayer keep thinking if they just lay out the facts in court they will prevail like they do in Europe but that's not how things go in American courts where the legal team's ability to manage the court's emotions wins the day. I have no idea how much truth there is to it.

Any idea what was different between the cases? The article isn’t clear.
