"Mr. Mariano also said just now that, due to some issues with Oxy Contin, people from the Sackler family have always felt a great sense of crisis. The scene at the time, coupled with the effects of alcohol, are all factors that led to the current tragedy. Therefore, Director David, you can't put all the blame on us. The environmental factors at the time should have been taken into account."
The person who stood up to speak now was Mariano's lawyer.
And what he said, without saying it outright, was that if David wanted to investigate the Sackler family, he should have gone directly to the sober-minded people in the family, not the young folks whose minds were clouded by alcohol and drugs.
In other words, his point was that the primary responsibility should not fall on the Sackler family but on David himself for misjudging the situation and needing to take leadership responsibility!
