Cadden/Chin Hearing Postponed

By Walter F. Roche Jr.

A final pre-trial hearing in the second degree murder case against two former Massachusetts pharmacists has been postponed till Aug. 19 due to coronavirus concerns.
Victims of the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak were informed this morning that the hearing had been postponed.
Barry Cadden and Glenn Chin have been charged with second degree murder in the deaths of 11 Michigan victims of the outbreak. Cadden was a founder and part owner of the New England Compounding Center, the company that produced fungus riddled steroids that caused the outbreak. Chin was a supervising pharmacist in the clean room where the tainted drugs were produced.
The hearing, now rescheduled for Aug. 19 at 1:30 p.m., is the final session before District Court Judge Shauna Murphy rules on whether the case against the two will go before a jury.
