I don't feel like this is talked about enough. BTW, I'm still new to the One chicago franchise, but ummm.. Laura Nagels' small reassemblance to Jules/Julie Willhite? Also, from the episodes I've watched of "Chicago Justice," I noticed how Antonio is always the one to knock on the door or enter first rather than Laura. Idk if it was intentional by the writers, but yeah.

Pain killer: an empire of deceit and the origin of America's opioid epidemic

Pain killer: an empire of deceit and the origin of America's opioid epidemic

In Pain Killer, Barry Meier breaks new ground in his decades-long investigation into the opioid epidemic.

Between 1999 and 2017, an estimated 250,000 Americans died from overdoses involving prescription painkillers, a plague ignited by Purdue Pharma’s aggressive marketing of OxyContin. Families, working class and wealthy, have been torn apart, businesses destroyed, and public officials pushed to the brink. Meanwhile, the drugmaker’s owners, Raymond and Mortimer Sackler, whose names adorn museums worldwide, made enormous fortunes from the commercial success of OxyContin.   In Pain Killer, Barry Meier tells the story of how Purdue turned OxyContin into a billion-dollar blockbuster. Powerful narcotic painkillers, or opioids, were once used as drugs of last resort for pain sufferers. But Purdue launched an unprecedented marketing campaign claiming that the drug’s long-acting formulation made it safer to use than traditional painkillers for many types of pain. That illusion was quickly shattered as drug abusers learned that crushing an Oxy could release its narcotic payload all at once. Even in its prescribed form, Oxy proved fiercely addictive. As OxyContin’s use and abuse grew, Purdue concealed what it knew from regulators, doctors, and patients.   Here are the people who profited from the crisis and those who paid the price, those who plotted in boardrooms and those who tried to sound alarm bells. A country doctor in rural Virginia, Art Van Zee, took on Purdue and warned officials about OxyContin abuse. An ebullient high school cheerleader, Lindsey Myers, was reduced to stealing from her parents to feed her escalating Oxy habit. A hard-charging DEA official, Laura Nagel, tried to hold Purdue executives to account.   In Pain Killer, Barry Meier breaks new ground in his decades-long investigation into the opioid epidemic.

He takes readers inside Purdue to show how long the company withheld information about the abuse of OxyContin and gives a shocking account of the Justice Department’s failure to alter the trajectory of the opioid epidemic and protect thousands of lives. Equal parts crime thriller, medical detective story, and business exposé, Pain Killer is a hard-hitting look at how a supposed wonder drug became the gateway drug to a national tragedy.

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times reporter who first exposed the roots of the opioid epidemic and the secretive world of the Sackler family behind Purdue Pharma, Pain Killer is the celebrated landmark story of corporate greed and government negligence that inspired the Netflix limited series Painkiller.   “This is the book that started it all. Barry Meier is a heroic reporter and Pain Killer is a muckraking classic.”—Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Empire of Pain New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice

Chicago Justice Season 1 Ep. 1 "Fake"

Assistant State's Attorney Peter Stone and Chief Investigator Antonio Dawson are preparing to prosecute the suspect responsible for the warehouse fire. However, the suspect's supposed confession is deemed inadmissible, and the defense prevents a cross-examination of the defendant by Stone. Therefore, the State's Attorney's office must find a motive and bring justice to both the victims and their families.

The crossover between Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. concludes in this episode, which began on "Deathtrap" and continued on "Emotional Proximity".

If you want to watch the series for yourself, stop reading! This post contains spoilers to the storyline.

The courthouse is packed with media and families of the victims. The police questioned Dylan Oates' acquaintances, Peter Stone and Anna Valdez. In court, Dylan informs the judge that he is waiving his right to counsel as the hearing is only about whether he will be granted bail. One of the parents shouts to hang him, while others yell that he killed his son. He is denied bail.

Stone and Jefferies walk towards their office. They both doubt Voight's claim that Dylan confessed. Although they have a witness who saw him start the fire, she has trouble with her vision now. On the plus side, one of the victims was Olinsky's daughter Lexi. Jefferies wants his ASA team to figure out why. They all know he is a monster, but they need to give a reason to the jury. Otherwise, the jury won't be able to comprehend the monstrosity. He informs Stone that cases such as this one could make or break his career. Losing would be catastrophic.

Alvin Olinsky visits Antonio Dawson, who offers his condolences. Laura Nagel from the ASA office also offers her condolences. Olinsky privately discusses with Antonio the possibility of an attorney claiming coercion. Antonio asks if Oates confessed, to which he responds that the culprit killed Lexi. When Antonio returns, Laura suggests that things seem suspicious. Antonio denies knowledge, stating that he was not present to hear anything. She states that she is part of the team but needs to know which team they belong to before the game commences.

Antonio and Laura visit Dylan's parents, who insist that he is innocent; his father asserts their right to remain silent. He then complains, asking when the media "pricks" will leave them alone. Antonio sarcastically responds that unfortunately, they have rights! Mrs. Oates informs them that Dylan was a loner. He woldn't go to a rave. He was a data processor, and 8 hourrs on the computer was never enough. Non of this is an element of murder.

Antonio closes the door and talks to Peter Stone about kids. He wants to grab Olinsky and tell him that everything will be okay, but he knows it won't be.

Antonio admits that he didn't actually hear the confession; only Voight and Olinsky did. Stone was aware of this fact all along but is furious that it took Antonio 24 hours to tell him the truth. They argue about ethics and what is right when Anna interrupts announcing that Albert Forest made a motion to suppress the confession.

During the meeting, Voight tells Stone that he needs to trust him and that he has the right to take the stand to tell his story. Stone responds by saying that having a right and doing what is right are two completely different things. Before leaving, Stone offers his condolences to Voight.

In court, Stone stands up and announces that the people will not oppose his motion to suppress the confession. Upon hearing this, Olinsky leaves the courtroom. Although Albert Forest is pleased that people have identified the weaknesses in their case, Stone intends to proceed to trial and has been granted permission.

Anna provides Stone with a list of articles related to the Kimball factory, including one that mentions a "Kiddie Sex Den". They discover that the raves were organized by pedophiles to attract underage teenagers. Anna mentions that, according to a therapist, pyromania is one of the consequences of child abuse. Stone informs Jefferies that they now have a motive. However, Jefferies is hesitant, as he believes that this could give the defense an opportunity to use a sympathy defence. He instructs them to stick to the actual facts they have.

During the investigation, Lt. Kelly Severide from the Chicago Fire Department testified in court. Severide was questioned by Forest about Mr. Kimball's failure to follow fire codes. Tamara also testified and described Dylan's behaviour on the night of the rave. Stone presented the same items to the jury.

When Forest asked Tamara if she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, she admitted to taking some Molly but remained steadfest in her account of what she witnessed, despite Forest's persistent questioning. Voight is next on the stand. He confirms the findings in Dylan's apartment. Forest tries to intimidate him by bringing up Lexi. If they could get someone convicted for the fire, it would give Olinsky some peace. The judge wants to know why the confession wasn't put into evidence. If the ASA can't believe his words, how can he expect the court to believe him now?

Stone and Anna are in the office when Anna asks if he could ever defend someone like Dylan Oates. He says he would never have to think about it. He is a prosecutor because he thinks of the victims, and right now, he is letting 39 of them down. They decide to subpoena Anders, the writer of the article about raves being used for underage sex. Anders says, he doesn't need preperation for court because he is a journalist and has the 1st amendment and shield law to protect him. Stone insists that what he does is not journalism and threatens to have Anders arrested for contempt. Anders mentions a weekend that Stone spent at the Huntington Hotel in Grand Beach four years ago.

Stone demands an explanation for Anders' actions, but Anders counters by asking if Stone has an idea of the lawsuit he would have to deal with from the 39 families. Stone challenges Anders to prove his claims, but Anders refuses to reveal his sources. Before leaving, Anders tells Stone to give his regards to Joan. Stone informs Joan that Anders is aware of their affair. Joan reuqests that Stone not call him as a witness, but she realizes that Stone is not seeking her permission; he is merely warning her. In anger, she stroms out of the restaurant.

Anders is a hostile witness. He admits that the article is about underage sex, where pedophiles drugged and got children high to manipulate them. The defense has no questions, and the prosecution rests.

Anna visits Stone's office and asks if he is okay. He is frustrated that Forest did not question Anders or his article. Anna suggests that Anders may have something on Forest. In court, Mrs. Oates maintains that her son is innocent, but admits that he changed after returning from a fishing trip with her brother, who she now confesses was molesting him. She believes that if Dylan committed the fire and killing of the children, it is her fault, not his.

During the conversation, Stone learns that Forest intentionally sent a list of articles to him, not by mistake. Forest did this to enable Stone to introduce the defense to him. Forest questions whether Mrs. Oates way lying and emphasizes that perception is everything. He claims that Dylan was never abused. Stone reminds Forest that there are 39 deceased children, but Forest is only concerned about protecting the one living child. Forest is confident that the trial will end in a hung jury.

Stone intends to call Dylan Oates as a witness. The judge grants Forest 24 hours to prepare his client.

Antonio and Laura are tasked with locating a witness who has not yet come forward. While at the memorial site, Antonio encounters Olinsky who expresses regret for not having killed Oates when he had the opportunity. Olinsky provides a tip when they discover a note from Chloe, who had not previously given a statement.

Laura visits Chloe's room to speak with her. Upon seeing the note she left for her deceased brother, she begins to cry. She admits to recognizing Dylan, who was arguing with a girl named Tamra. They confront Tamra with the knowledge that she knew more than just stepping on a paper bag.

On social media, she rejected him and went to a party instead of going out with him. She posted about it on Facebook, claiming responsibility for the deaths of all those people. Anna mentioned that she might have to testify, but Stone said only if necessary.

Dylan denied that his uncle did anything inappropriate to him while on the stand. Stone approached the stand and asked why Dylan claimed his mother knew nothing about his life, then questioned him about his Facebook. Dylan denies being on Facebook, but Stone claims he opened a fake account, which Dylan denies.

Stonr presents a picture of Tamra Collins, and Dylan claims it is the blind girl who accused him. Stone questions why her pictures are all over Dylan's account if he doesn't know her. Dylan becomes jealous of the pictures showing Tamra having a good time. Finally, Dylan snaps and asks why he should care if Tamra would rather hang out with garbage than him? Stone has no further questions, and closing arguments will happen next.

Forest claims that Stone picked Dylan as his patsy. Stone admits that he did not disclose why Dylan started the fire and killed those 39 kids. Dylan himsel revealed the reason. He stalked a girl who did not reciprocate his feelings, hiding behind social media and a keyboard, where deceit and voyeurism thrive. Dylan repeatedly pounds his fist on the table until the judge orders him to stop.

In Dylan's mind, Tamra had the perfect life, and he was not a part of it. He resented not being part of her Facebook life. Stone asked if the tears were for the 39 dead or for his own life. Dylan attacked Stone and was restrained and removed from the courtroom. The jury found him guilty of aggravated arson and 39 counts of first-degree murder.

Chicago Justice Season 1 Ep. 2 "Uncertainty Principle"

Dawson faces an uncomfortable situation when the State's Attorney's office accuses Officer Kevin Atwater of using excessive force to apprehend a man accused of drug dealing, who later died in custody. As a result, Stone is compelled to charge Atwater with murder.

If you want to watch the series for yourself, stop reading! This post contains spoilers to the storyline.

ASA Anna Valdez arrives at Chicago PD and asks Sergeant Trudy Platt to see Adrian Carrera, who is in the drunk tank with his lawyer, Arnold Rifking. Carrera is offered a plea of 20 years, for today only, by Peter Stone. Rifking rejects the plea on assault charges. Anna informs him that the victim died at Chicago Med and they are filing murder charges.

As she leaves, the lawyer tells her that he is also representing the man in the drunk tank beside Carrera, Justin Wilkes. She says that if she doesn't hear from him by 2 pm, she will put the case before the grand jury. Carrera told them to shove their offer, and Stone tells her that she will be first chair on a murder case. As she experiences a moment of excitement, Rifking calls her to inform that the client next to Carrera has passed away. He is currently at the hospital with the client's mother, Mrs. Wilkes.

At the hospital, she learns from Rev. Fitch that he is ensuring their office investigates Justin's death thoroughly. Justin did not die of natural causes; he passed away from fatal injuries while in police custody. She watches as the mother says goodbye to her deceased son.

Stone and Anna meet with Mark Jefferies and share all the information they have about Wilke's case. He instructs them to act quickly, beginning at the hospital and working backwards. With Rev. Fitch on the case, Rifking's tenure as Wilkes' lawyer will be short-lived.

Stone discovers from the ME that, regardless of his level of intoxication, the moment the sternum broke, the victim was doomed. It is evident that the injury was cause by a blow to the chest, which is typical of car accidents. She informs him that she is designating the cause of death as homicide.

Antonio Dawson and Laura Nagel discover that it took the ED over five hours to reach Justin. Laura questions how they knew he was drunk if no one examined him. The nurse states that some of their regular patients are drunks but is uncooperative in providing further information. She only reveals that he died from exsanguination. Laura and Antonio were startled when EMS informed them that Justin smelled of alcohol and had vomited all over them during a call to rescue an 8-year-old who had been pulled from the lake with no pulse. As they walked away, Laura reminded Antonio not to get sick, and he replied with a sarcastic comment about not being a black male. One of the paramedics shouted to them that the child from the lake had survived.

Antonio and Laura then went to the Chicago PD to speak with the Detective. Officer Kevin Atwater arrested Justin, whom he knew from their childhood. Atwater explains the events leading up to the arrest and subsequent death of Justin. When asked if he followed proper restraint procedures, Atwater explains that Justin was resisting arrest and he used reasonable physical force to subdue him. He then slams his locker and brushes past Antonio.

Antonio defends Kevin. Rifking brings in his client Carrera, who claims to have information from the night Wilkes died. Carrera says Wilkes might have told him a cop hit him. Rifking offers a deal, but Stone turns it down. Meanwhile, Antonio requests video coverage before throwing Kevin Atwater to the wolves to keep the peace. He promises to have it in a couple of hours.

Jefferies meets with Mrs. Wilkes and Rev. Fitch. Fitch produces cellphones for people who are afraid to go to the police. He offers them to Jefferies, claiming that Justin was definitely murdered. Antonio and Laura watch the videos of Kevin Atwater's arrest. Antonio supports Atwater, but Laura reminds him that they are partners now. Atwater tells Antonio that he should have just been allowed to sell his drugs because it will always be someone's child. The group gathers to review what they know about the case so far.

Antonio tells Anna that she knows Atwater. Stone also mentions that he knows Sergeant Hank Voight's unit and wouldn't describe them as shrinking violets. He takes no pleasure in going after a cop, especially someone like Kevin Atwater. Antonio advises him to drop it, but Stone reminds him that their obligation is to the victim and his family. Antonio grabs his coat and says he doesn't have to be a part of it.

Antonio updates Voight on his efforts and expresses concern about the possibility of Kevin being the killer. Voight responds that if Kevin did kill the victim, then the victim deserved it. Stone decides to pursue legal action against the police officer who arrested Wilkes, the EMTs who delayed his transport to the hospital, and the doctors who failed to treat him in a timely manner. He was made a ward of the state upon his arrest. The EMTs and doctors treated him poorly, as if he was not worth saving. In the end, he became a victim of murder.

At a bar, Stone explains that he is not suggesting a conspiracy, but rather it was the collective actions or lack of actions that led to the victim's death. She reminds him that this concept does not exist in the criminal code. Paul Robinette, who served with Stone's father in NYC, arrives and defends police officers. After Voight called him, he came to help Atwater. Robinette has a motion to preclude grand jury action, but Stone informs him that this does not exist in Chicago. Robinette suggests letting the presiding judge make the call.

During the court proceedings, the judge requested an hour to review Robinette's request for all subpoenas from the ASA office. The lawyers argued about the preclusion. Stone did not pay attention to Kevin Atwater's characteristics until after the trial. Robinette mentioned that Stone reminded him of his father, but Stone quickly dismissed the comment, stating that his father has nothing to do with the way he practices law. Peter is advised to call his father and apologize. Stone denies any knowledge of the situation, but Robinette believes otherwise.

In court, the judge denies his motion. Anna returns to Jefferies' office and reports that the grand jury has indicted Kevin Atwater for first-degree murder. Stone bows his head as Jefferies orders them to obtain an arrest warrant within the hour and execute it immediately. Stones says Atwater would turn himself in, but Jefferies orders him to work on all the reasonable doubt they handed Robinette.

Antonio brings Atwater in as Jefferies gives a press conference. Antonio defends Chicago PD and confronts Stone for accusing Atwater of causing the victim's death.

The medical examiner confirms that the victim suffered blunt force trauma to his rib cage, which caused it to splinter. Stone presents videos of the arrest, and the medical examiner admits that the arrest could have caused the injuries. The victim died at 4:06 pm, and Atwater arrested him at 7:10 am. Robinette brings up that Stone attempted to indict the EMTs and doctors for not knowing the true cause of Justin's death. Witnesses from the neighbourhood knew Justin Wilkes as a drug dealer.

Antonio tells Kevin that he did what he could, but Atwater is upset that it obviously wasn't long enough. They used to ride together, but everything has changed now that Antonio has moved to a bigger house. The defendant is upset that a black woman testified today, implying that he is betraying his community by being a police officer. Due to death threats, his younger siblings are currently staying in a hotel. Antonio has offered to take them in until Kevin is cleared. Atwater suggests that it may be too late and that he may have killed the victim or used excessive force. Antonio reminds him that they act for the right reasons.

Stone is experiencing a crisis of conscience after Robinette's assertion that several people were responsible for Justin's death. Jefferies inquires about Carrera, the jailhouse snitch, and whether he knows for a fact that he is lying. Carrera claims that Justin told him that the arresting officer had beaten him severely. The court adjourns until the following day.

Stone and Robinette discuss how a criminal's testimony carries more weight than that of a police officer. Robinette requested that the charges be reduced to aggravated assault with a six-month probationary period, but Stone declined and proposed a one-year sentence. During the court proceedings, Kevin Atwater provided a testimony of the events, while Antonio exited the courtroom.

Laura wants to talk about something, but Antonio doesn't. She shares a childhood story with him, telling him that she has learned to pick a side and stick with it. She tells him that she is happy he is her partner. Antonio reviews the case and discovers that there was no blood tox report and no vomit on him.

Anna and Stone arrive at the prison and inform Carrera that his deal is off the table. Stone tells Carrera that he has only two choices: concurrent or consecutive sentences. He is now being charged with Justin's murder on top of the man he killed in the bar. Carrera admits that he killed him for a cigarette.

Back in court, Stone vacates kevin Atwater's sentence and charge. He admits to Atwater that sometimes they get it wrong and apologizes to him. Antonio and Atwater nod to each other. Robinette shakes hands with Stone and tells him that his father would be proud of both of them. Antonio visits Stone's office and apologizes, telling him not to worry. Stone picks up his baseball and calls his father.
