Pharmacist pleads no contest to involuntary manslaughter in Michigan deaths from meningitis outbreak
A Massachusetts pharmacist pleaded no contest Thursday to involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of 11 people in Michigan, all victims of tainted steroids that caused a national meningitis outbreak in 2012. Glenn Chin, 56, will get a 7 1/2-year prison sentence in October. He will benefit by receiving credit for his current, longer sentence for separate federal crimes. “Mr. Chin should not face any further incarceration after his current federal sentence, and an unnecessarily burdensome and lengthy trial has been avoided for the court and the people of the state of Michigan,” defense attorney Bill Livingston said. Michigan has been the only state to prosecute Chin and his boss, Barry Cadden, for deaths related to the scandal. Cadden, too, pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter earlier this year. Second-degree murder charges for both men were dropped.
