We intend to prove the simple truth that the distributor defendants sold a mountain of opioid pills into our community, fueling the opioid epidemic, Paul Farrell, a lawyer for Cabell County, said in his opening statement in Charleston, West Virginia. The distributors - AmerisourceBergen Corp, McKesson Corp and Cardinal Health Inc - have denied the allegations, saying they are not responsible for drugs that reached the black market after they were sold.
