The emotional hearing came one day after a US bankruptcy judge approved a settlement<\/a> that requires Purdue Pharma and the Sackler families to pay out as much as $6 billion to states, individual claimants and for opioid crisis abatement. <\/div>\n

“I’m outraged that you haven’t owned up to the crisis that you’ve created,” said Kay Scarpone, whose son Joseph Scarpone, a former Marine, was lost to addiction when he was 25. <\/p>\n

The 26 speakers at the Zoom hearing came from 19 states. <\/p>\n

“You will be judged by greater powers than this justice system system and this bankruptcy court,” said Ryan Hampton, who has been in recovery from a decade-long opioid addiction.<\/p>\n
