The Sacklers should be slow-roasted over hot coals, so I am not sure how to feel about this
The current deal allowed them to avoid any criminal liability and keep all the billions they made. It just made them lose their company.
I think this ruling is good, since it opens the family up to criminal liability and possibly losing billions of dollars.
There’s only one death penalty that I support. And it’s deep-frying.
“The unfortunate reality is that the alternative is costly and chaotic legal proceedings in courtrooms across the country,” they said in a statement. “While we are confident that we would prevail in any future litigation given the profound misrepresentations about our families and the opioid crisis, we continue to believe that a swift negotiated agreement to provide billions of dollars for people and communities in need is the best way forward.”
We tried to buy our way out because we’re guilty af, but failed.
I agree with another poster that I’m not sure how I feel about this. If this results in them taking greater responsibility for the harm they’ve done, great. If this ends up letting them off easier, travesty.
Good SCOTUS
Broken clock’s right twice a day, etc. A glimmer of light in an otherwise abysmally dark day in US jurisprudence.
