A Michigan judge suddenly postponed the sentencing Barry Cadden, man at the center of a fatal meningitis outbreak that hit multiple states on Thursday, dismaying people who were poised to speak about their grief 12 years after the tragedy.
Barry Cadden, center, enters court in Livingston County, Michigan, on Thursday. Cadden operated New England Compounding Center, a Massachusetts specialty pharmacy, which caused a national meningitis outbreak in 2012.
The judge who took a no-contest plea from Barry Cadden retired in March. But the defense attorney and the prosecutor said they still expected that Michael Hatty would return to impose a minimum 10-year prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter. “How things developed today were disrespectful to the victims who worked hard to prepare statements on behalf of their loved one," Nuerenberg told The Associated Press.
Cadden and a key employee at the lab, Glenn Chin, were charged with second-degree murder for 11 of Michigan's 19 deaths. Cadden recently chose to plead no contest to involuntary manslaughter.
