A Michigan judge has postponed the sentencing of Barry Cadden, a key figure in a fatal meningitis outbreak that affected multiple states. The decision to delay the sentencing, which was expected to result in a minimum 10-year prison term for involuntary manslaughter, has left many individuals who were prepared to share their grief dismayed.
The case, stemming from tainted steroid injections produced at the New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts, resulted in over 700 people across 20 states falling ill with meningitis or other severe conditions, with at least 64 deaths reported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
