The co-owner of New England Compounding Center, whose contaminated drugs caused a fungal meningitis outbreak that killed more than 60 people, has been convicted of dozens of federal charges but acquitted of murder.
A jury in Boston convicted Barry J. Cadden of more than 50 counts of mail fraud for his part in peddling unsterile drugs that led to a national outbreak of fungal meningitis in 2012 that infected more than 750 patients and killed 60. Sentencing was set for June, the Boston Globe reported.
