On this West Virginia Morning, Huntington and Cabell County, often considered ground zero for the opioid epidemic, are still waiting for opioid settlement funds from their lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies. This week, the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia declined to determine a point of state law in the cities’ suit, sending the matter back to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond. Eric Douglas spoke with Anthony Majestro, one of the lead attorneys on the case, to sort it all out.
