A judge will sentence Purdue Pharma in a criminal opioids case, clearing the way for settlement money to begin flowing to victims. The sentencing, scheduled in federal court, resolves a key legal hurdle stemming from the company's guilty plea. That clearance will allow funds from settlements to be distributed to states, tribes and local governments that sued over harms from opioid misuse.
