Jury convicts former employees of pharmacy involved in deadly 2012 outbreak

A federal jury has convicted the co-owner and four former employees of a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy at the center of a deadly fungal outbreak in 2012. It's the latest in a string of criminal trials involving former employees of the New England Compounding Center, which prosecutors say produced contaminated drugs that killed 76 people and sickened hundreds. The jury convicted the pharmacy's co-owner and its former director of operations on charges of conspiring to defraud the FDA about the center's operations before the outbreak. Three pharmacists were also convicted on charges of mail fraud, racketeering, and filling prescriptions under a fake name.
