- Summary:
- An interview with Mike Moore, the lawyer suing manufacturers and distributors of painkillers for their responsibility in the nationwide opioid epidemic. Formerly associated with the multibillion-dollar settlements against Big Tobacco and BP, Moore is trying to prove that states like Ohio should collect billions from drug companies for the crisis that took tens of thousands of American lives. Includes interviews with: Mike DeWine, Ohio Attorney General and soon-to-be mayor; Burton LeBlanc, Louisiana lawyer. Update: Last month, the first of an avalanche of lawsuits filed against the manufacturers and distributors of opioid painkillers went to trial. The state of Oklahoma is trying to convince a judge that drugmaker Johnson and Johnson is legally responsible for the epidemic. Moore says he has evidence proving this is the case.
