A federal judge has set a July 21 date for the continuation of a re-sentencing of a former pharmacist convicted of racketeering, conspiracy and mail fraud.
U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns set the July 21 10 a.m. hearing date for Glenn Chin, who previously was given an eight year federal sentence.
Last week's hearing on the matter was delayed due to technical difficuties getting Chin's testimony transmitted from the Michigan jail where Chin and co-defendant Barry Cadden are awaiting trial on seperate but related charges.
The two were employed at the defunct New England Compounding Center, the company blamed for the deadly 2012 fungal menigitis outbreak.
The re-sentencing was mandated by a decision from the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals which concluded that Stearns had failed to consider enhancements to his original sentence.
Cadden, whose re-sentencing hearing has already been held, had his sentence boosted from nine years to 14.5 years.
The two could face a lifetime jail sentence if they are convicted on 11 counts of second degree murder charged in Michigan.
The two are appealing to the Michigan Supreme Court, charging that there was insufficient evidence to bind them over for trial on those murder charges.
