HIGHLIGHT: MASSACHUSETTS
Boston: Employees at a drug company accused of bribing doctors rapped and danced around a life-size bottle of their highly addictive fentanyl spray in a video meant to motivate sales representatives into getting patients on higher doses. The video was shown to jurors last week in the closely watched trial in Boston of Insys Therapeutics Inc. founder John Kapoor and four other former executives charged with scheming to pay doctors bribes in exchange for prescriptions of the drug meant for cancer patients with severe pain. All have denied wrongdoing. Prosecutors say the video was shown at a 2015 meeting to fire up employees.
