After the Raccoon City incident, the
U.S. government issued an order for
Umbrella to cease and desist all
operations. In response, Ozwell E.
Spencer hired the best lawyers money
could buy and prepared false witnesses
to try and create the appearance of a
conspiracy with which to turn the public
opinion away from Umbrella and toward
the government.

Survivors of the incident presented
their testimonies, but the lack of
evidence, most of which had been wiped
out in the eradication operation, and
the withholding of testimony by
government employees, who feared being
implicated, made the case drag on
without a conclusion.
