Kanawha County Civil Trial Against Drug Makers is Continued

A civil trial against three drug distributors set to begin yesterday at the Kanawha County Courthouse was continued at the request of both sides. No reason was given, but the continuance of the trial follows a decision handed down by a federal judge on Monday in favor of AmerisourceBergen Drug Co., Cardinal Health Inc. and McKesson Corp., which were being sued by Cabell County and the city of Huntington. In the case set for trial at the Kanawha County Courthouse, counties and cities are suing the same three companies, claiming their inaction fueled the opioid crisis. No new trial has been set for the case that was to be heard at the Kanawha County Courthouse.
