Doctor Whose Patients Died Testifies In Trial Of NECC Pharmacist Accused In Meningitis Deaths

Seventy-six people died. Prosecutors claim New England Compounding Center supervisory pharmacist Glenn Chin killed those people with conduct so dangerous it created a probability they'd die.

In the third week of Chin's federal trial, the focus is on those who died. WBUR's David Boeri reports for Morning Edition.
