HUNTINGTON â A request to dismiss the case against opioid firms accused of adding fuel to the fire that is the opioid crisis by shipping hundreds of opioid dosages to Cabell County and Huntington will loom over the trial as the defense presents its witnesses.
The evidence shows AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson shipped more than 127 million dosage units of opioids into the county over an eight-year period. Attorneys say a systematic failure of the companiesâ suspicious ordering monitoring system, combined with company executives seeking to make as much profit as possible, led to an unnecessary amount of pills being shipped.
