Case Against Pharmaceutical Companies Wrapping Up Early In W.Va.

Both sides have rested in a landmark opioid trial in which Cabell County and the City of Huntington take on some of the nation’s largest pharmaceutical companies.

The trial seeks to hold three major drug distributors -AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson-responsible for their alleged parts in contributing to the opioid crisis.

The bench trial is wrapping up about a month ahead of schedule.

Closing arguments are set for July 27 and 28 at the Federal Courthouse in Charleston.
