Episode Details

Judge Faber returns to the opioid crisis case in Huntington and Cabell County, West Virginia, after an appeals court ordered him to reconsider his legal standard—focusing on whether distributors had a duty to halt suspicious orders. Plaintiffs argue distributors failed this duty, while defense attorneys call evidence “paltry” and claim responsibility ended at distribution. After three hours of arguments, the judge says he has enough to rule without new filings, with plaintiffs hoping for a decision on liability, causation, and a community-focused abatement plan—not just money—to heal the region’s deep wounds.
