00:07.933 --> 00:08.733 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
Right down here

00:08.733 --> 00:09.333 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
this was government

00:09.700 --> 00:11.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
housing and I went to school
with these kids

00:11.833 --> 00:13.233 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
and when we had that

00:13.233 --> 00:15.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
24 people overdose in 3 hours,

00:15.766 --> 00:18.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
it was sold from right there
on that corner to people,

00:18.433 --> 00:20.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and within 3 hours,
24 people overdosed.

00:22.966 --> 00:24.166 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Until you've picked up

00:24.166 --> 00:26.966 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
one of your own
and put them in a body bag,

00:27.466 --> 00:29.966 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
you know,
how do you put a number on that?

00:29.966 --> 00:32.966 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Somebody has to freaking
pay for this.

00:33.900 --> 00:36.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
This wasn't an accident
that happened.

00:36.233 --> 00:39.900 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
This was part of a complex
business plan

00:40.233 --> 00:43.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to sell as much opium in America
as possible.

00:46.266 --> 00:50.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So I filed a lawsuit
against the distributors,

00:50.733 --> 00:52.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and it was the first of
its kind.

00:55.066 --> 00:56.100 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
With this case,

00:56.100 --> 00:59.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
I'm representing
in my entire home community.

00:59.300 --> 01:02.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Now I'm suddenly feeling like
I can make a big difference.

01:03.866 --> 01:06.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
He's gone from,
you know, a very good lawyer

01:06.400 --> 01:09.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in West Virginia to now
a national very good lawyer.

01:09.866 --> 01:10.700 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
That's a big jump.

01:14.700 --> 01:16.733 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
You believe that the actions
that you

01:16.733 --> 01:20.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
or your company took contributed
to the opioid epidemic,

01:20.066 --> 01:21.000 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
yes or no...

01:21.000 --> 01:23.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and if it's not either one—
- No.

01:23.000 --> 01:23.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
No, sir. I do not believe that

01:23.900 --> 01:25.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
we contributed
to the opioid crisis.

01:25.800 --> 01:29.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
What the defendants have done in
this case is they have marked

01:29.633 --> 01:32.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
everything confidential,

01:32.033 --> 01:34.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because they don't want
the country to see what they did

01:34.166 --> 01:35.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and what they knew
they were doing.

01:40.166 --> 01:43.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I'm going to expose
to the entire country

01:43.300 --> 01:46.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
exactly what's happened
for the past 20 years.

01:47.133 --> 01:49.400 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
If my legal theory is right,

01:49.400 --> 01:53.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I'm going to introduce
them to the misery they caused.
