A federal appeals court yesterday made a series of minor corrections in recent decisions on the criminal cases stemming from the 2012 fungal meningitis.
In all four cases the original decisions remained in place and the convictions of Kathy Chin, Michelle Thomas et al remain in place.
In one of the Chin decisions the 1st Circuit of Appeals had misstated the identity of a prosecution witness, whose testimony had been challenged by the defendants because he hadn't been formally qualified as an expert witness.
The witness was Samuel Penta, an official of the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy, but the opinion said it was Thomas, one of the defendants.
The other corrections were made in the decisions on Sharon Carter and Gregory Conigliaro, who was vice president and part owner of the New England Compounding Center. Carter was an NECC supervisor.
Thomas and Kathy Chin, both then licensed pharmacists worked in the order confirmation section at NECC.
