A Michigan judge today agreed to delay issuing a final ruling in the second degree murder charges against two former Massachusetts pharmacists.
Circuit Court Judge Michael P. Hatty approved the motions filed by lawyers for Glenn Chin and Barry Cadden to delay the issuance of final rulings so that the two can file appeals with the Michigan Court of Appeals.
Hatty agreed to delay a final ruling on his decision to uphold the decision of a district court judge binding the two over for trial on the second degree murder charges.
Cadden and Chin were charged with 11 counts of second degree murder for their roles in the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak. Cadden was president and part owner of the New England Compounding Center, the company blamed for the outbreak.
Chin was the pharmacist who supervised the clean room where the deadly steroids were prepared.
Gerald Gleeson, Cadden's attorney said, "We believe the appeal has merit and presents an issue that the Michigan Court of Appeals should resolve as it would have wider application to Michigan law and it would vindicate Mr. Cadden."
