Are these legal tactics for a formidable defense against potential lawsuits ethical? It certainly raises questions about the integrity of the legal system and corporate accountability. Leaked search warrants revealed that multiple psychiatric drugs were involved in this mass shooting investigation. Is it the intention of the law firm to protect its
pharmaceutical clients by withholding information about the shooter’s psychiatric drug use?
The law firm’s intent may appear to be an attempt to protect The Covenant Children’s Trust, but it also must acknowledge that the firm protects its pharma clients too. Given that so many of the school shooters and mass violence in general are tied to psychiatric drugs use, the pharmaceutical industry’s role in public health demands a higher standard of ethical conduct even when it may negatively impact a company’s bottom line.
