A New Hampshire woman said Thursday she was devasted by a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to reject a settlement that would have given billions of dollars to opioid treatment centers and those impacted by the epidemic. The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote to reject the settlement with Purdue Pharma that would have forced the Sackler family, which owns the company, to pay $6 billion to recovery centers and victim families across the country. Kay Scarpone, of Kingston, said she lost her son in 2015 to an opioid overdose. Under the settlement, New Hampshire would have received $46 million.
