Cadden, Chin Hearing Will Be On Line

An upcoming hearing for the two former pharmacists facing second degree murder charges can be viewed on-line or in person at the Livingston County courthouse in Howell, Mich.
Victims of the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak were advised today that the Nov. 12 hearing on pre-trial motions would be accessible although there may be limits on those actually attending the 8:30 a.m. session before Judge Michael P. Hatty.
Chin and Cadden have been charged with 11 counts of second degree murder for their roles in the outbreak.
The hearing will be on a motion to move tha case to another county due to the large number of victims in Livingston County.
Cadden's lawyer has also filed a motion to have the charges dismissed due to double jeopardy. The two faced related charges in a federal criminal case in Boston, Mass. Two separate juries declined to convict them on second degree murder charges as predicate acts in a racketeering conspiracy. They were convicted on other charges.
Cadden was president and part owner of the New England Compounding Center, the company blamed for the outbreak. The company shipped thousands of vials of contaminated methylprednisolone acetate to health facilties across the country. Chin was a supervising pharmacist at NECC.
