In a move to save time on long delayed cases, the Michigan Attorney General is asking a Livingston County judge to combine the trials of two former pharmacists each charged with 11 counts of second degree murder.
In a status conference held today the Attorney General asked for the cases of Barry Cadden and Glen Chin to be combined.
Judge Michael Hatty set a Sept. 22 date to hear arguments on that request.
The two cases have been on hold for months while Chin and Cadden argued before the state Supreme Court to effectively dismiss the charges. Both appeals were denied.
The two were charged following an investigation into the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak which took the lives of 12 Livingston County residents.
Cadden was president and part owner of the drug compounding company blamed for the outbreak. Chin was the supervising pharmacist in the clean room where the drugs containing deadly fungi were produced.
Both already have been convicted on racketeering and conspiracy charges in federal court. Two separate federal juries, however declined to convict them on second degree murder charges.
Hatty also scheduled another status conference for Sept. 23.

Something is missing, when two jury's did not convict Cadden and Chin, either crucial evidence was suppressed or someone turned a blind eye.. I pray the Michigan jurors see through the smoke and mirrors, because people died, and are still suffering, doesn't seem right, when you're convicted of fraud and racketeering, but the death of people isn't included.. White collar criminals never seems to really pay for their greedy sins.. I pray Michigan sends them to hell, just like they did to us..
