Defendants Object To Massive Volume Of Documents In Upcoming Landmark Federal Opioid Case

The number of witnesses in the upcoming case was trimmed down from 150 to 85 on Wednesday. Plaintiffs from two Ohio counties have accused the drug companies and distributors of creating a “public nuisance” that harmed the health of residents, and operated in concert, in much the same way as an illegal drug gang would. News on opioid-related issues focuses on a lost bid for a lawsuit, Chris Christie's $800,000 consulting contract with a drug maker, efforts to help family members, and more.
