The jury in a new York trial has found that Teva Pharmaceuticals played a role in fuelling the opioid crisis in the US, and should be held liable for damages, which will be decided later. The decision came after eight days of deliberation by the jurors, and almost six months of legal jousting between the drugmaker and its counsel and lawyers for the state of New York and two of its counties, Suffolk and Nassau.
