A federal judge has halted the sale of Purdue Pharma, the company behind the opioid OxyContin, slamming the proposed settlement as unfair to victims. The plan, which would have turned the company into a harm-reduction entity funded by Sackler family billions, faced backlash for shielding the family from future lawsuits and offering insufficient accountability. With the sale blocked, the opioid crisis resolution remains stalled — and the legal battle for justice just got more complicated.

A teenage killer gets a reprieve: Robert Tulloch, convicted at 17 for murdering Dartmouth professors Susanne and Half Zantop, will avoid a grueling resentencing after striking a deal with prosecutors. The case, now closed, marks the final of five New Hampshire juvenile lifers to face resentencing after the 2012 Supreme Court ruling that declared mandatory life without parole unconstitutional for minors. Tulloch’s legal team argued for 30–40 years, citing his prison record—mostly for having too many books—and profound remorse. His co-conspirator, James Parker, 16 at the time, cooperated and was released after nearly serving his minimum, calling the crime “unimaginably horrible.” While New Hampshire has resisted ending juvenile life sentences, Tulloch’s case—and the judge’s ruling that such sentences are cruel and unusual—could reshape future debates. Nationally, 75% of juvenile lifers resentenced since the ruling received sentences under 40 years.
