Thursday was the second day of Zimmerman’s testimony, during which he acknowledged the “devastating effect” of the opioid epidemic but deflected responsibility — blaming, in turn, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and then lower-level employees at his company

AmerisourceBergen executive Chris Zimmerman shared a lyrical parody of the theme song for “The Beverly Hillbillies,” making fun of “a poor mountaineer” who purchased pills at a “cash ‘n carry” pain clinic. Another was titled “OxyContinVille” and included a parody of a Jimmy Buffett song that described driving from Kentucky to buy pills.
