Leopold Bloom on Nostr: Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Prozac, secretly paid victims of a mass shooting $20 ...

Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Prozac, secretly paid victims of a mass shooting $20 million without the judge's knowledge as part of an agreement to withhold damaging evidence.

"The drugmaker that produces Prozac, the antidepressant that Joseph Wesbecker’s victims blamed for his deadly shooting rampage 30 years ago at Standard Gravure, secretly paid the victims $20 million to help ensure a verdict exonerating the drug company."

"Wesbecker began taking Prozac about a month before his murderous spree that killed eight and wounded 12 in the print shop attached to the Courier Journal. All but one of the victims sued Eli Lilly, the company that manufactured the popular but controversial drug."
